Issue:

On certain Cybex Aton G Swivel infant car seats, the harness anchor hooks can be damaged. If this happens, the harness can loosen and detach from the seat.

Safety Risk:

A harness that is loose or detaches from the seat can increase the risk of injury. If you notice any damage to the hooks or a missing harness anchor pin:

  • do not use the seat
  • contact Cybex immediately
