Evenflo Joyride Car Seats/Carriers
Published February 25, 2026 · Recall initiated: May 1, 2001
What's the hazard
When the seat is used as an infant carrier, the handle can unexpectedly release, causing the seat to flip forward. When this happens, an infant inside the carrier can fall to the ground and suffer serious injuries.
What to do
Evenflo will provide consumers with a free easy-to-install repair kit that helps secure the handle. Consumers should not carry the seat by the handle until it has been repaired. CPSC, NHTSA and Evenflo remind caregivers to always restrain infants, according to the instructions when in the car seat/carrier.
