Is your child ready for a belt-positioning booster seat? Congratulations! Your days of struggling to fit car seats into your vehicle are mostly over. Unlike infant or convertible child safety seats, most belt-positioning (not harnessed) boosters require little or no installation. But a good fit is still critical.

A voluntary recall of the Britax B-Nimble, an umbrella stroller that Consumer Reports designated a Don’t Buy: Safety Risk in April 2011 (and in the May 2011 issue of Consumer Reports), was announced yesterday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada. The stroller was recalled by its manufacturer, Britax Child Safety, Inc. of North Carolina. A problem with the brakes—discovered by Consumer Reports’ testing—was given as the reason for the recall.

A voluntary recall of 2,300 Zooper strollers that pose a strangulation hazard was announced May 27 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The hazard exists because an unharnessed child could slide between the seat and the interchangeable snack tray or armrest bar and become entrapped at the head or neck.
