What’s wrong with it?
A child seat that fails to properly restrain a child increases the risk of injury in a crash.

(Chicco) is recalling certain MyFit Zip Air Harness and Booster child restraint seats (CRS) with model numbers 07079561970070 and 04079561190070.
In certain configurations, the child seat may allow excessive chest movement in a crash.
