    More Than 74,000 Evenflo All4One Car Seats Recalled for Potential Injury Risk

    When used in rear-facing mode, the convertible child car seat may shift out of its recline position. No injuries have been reported.

    Thousands of Evenflo All4One 4-in-1 convertible car seats sold in the U.S. and Canada have been voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer due to an issue with the car seat’s recline mechanism. In a crash, the seat may shift into a different recline position when used in rear-facing mode. If a car seat doesn’t maintain the proper recline position, it “may not adequately secure a child in a crash, increasing the risk of injury,” says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the recall announcement. 

    MORE ON CAR SEATS

    The NHTSA recall announcement also identifies a second issue: If another passenger were to put their hand into the recline mechanism while the seat is rear-facing, and the seat shifts into a different recline position, it could result in their hand or fingers being pinched. 

    At this time, no injuries related to either issue have been reported. 

    NHTSA first identified the recline issue during testing, and it was later confirmed by Evenflo. In a statement on its website, Evenflo said that the recline issue “does not negatively impact protection for a child secured in the car seat.” Evenflo states that families can continue to use the car seat, even in rear-facing mode, but the company will replace recalled car seats with a new equivalent model.

    “It’s important to continue keeping your child properly restrained in an appropriate car seat for every car ride. While there is potential for increased injury risk if the recline changes position, the injury risk for an unrestrained child in a crash is certain,” says Emily A. Thomas, PhD, associate director of auto safety at Consumer Reports. 

    CR reached out to Evenflo for comment, but did not hear back in time for publication. 

    Here’s what else to know about the Evenflo All4One recall, and how to tell if your seat is affected.

    About the Evenflo All4One Car Seat Recall

    Not every Evenflo All4One convertible car seat is impacted by the recall—just certain model numbers (listed below) produced between January 2022 and June 2024. You can find your car seat’s date of manufacture and model number by looking for a white label on the bottom or back of your car seat. Some Evenflo seats include “EveryFit/EveryKid/All4One” in the model name, but only the seats labeled “All4One” with the listed model numbers are included in the recall. 

    Evenflo says that all owners who have registered their car seats will be contacted soon by the company about the recall and free replacement seat, most likely by mail. If you haven’t yet registered your car seat or can’t remember if you have, or if you’ve recently moved, the company recommends that you fill out a new registration. You can also contact Evenflo for additional support.

    “Registering your car seat is always a good idea so the company can easily contact you in the event of a recall or other product safety issue,” says Michael Bloch, child seat project leader at Consumer Reports.

    The problem: When used in rear-facing mode, the adjustable recline mechanism may shift out of its proper position, altering the recline angle. A car seat that doesn’t maintain its proper recline position may not adequately protect a child in a crash and increase the risk of injury, NHTSA says. Additionally, if another passenger were to put their hand on the recline mechanism when it shifts out of position, their hand or fingers could be pinched. 

    The fix: Evenflo will replace recalled car seats with an equivalent car seat for free. In the meantime, the company says you may continue to use your car seat, including in rear-facing mode, with a reminder that anyone sitting next to the car seat should keep their hands away from the recline mechanism while the seat is in use “to avoid possible pinching.” The company website has photos of where to place a small folded towel inside the recline mechanism to fill the open space as a deterrent.

    How to contact the manufacturer: Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning Jan. 26, 2026. Owners may contact Evenflo customer service at 800-233-5921 in the U.S. or 800-265-0749 in Canada, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. You can also send an email to parentlink@evenflo.com.
