The product, in the report: GMG Yepp Maxi Seat/ Black. Frame fixation. Child Bike seat Carrier. EN 14344
GMG Yepp Maxi child carrier Bike Seat
I recently purchased the GMG Yepp Maxi from Amazon.com. I purchased this seat because the Maximum weight advertised for the child is listed as 22kg/48lb. This Maximum weight limit is listed on the GMG Yepp website, Amazon product information, all other websites selling this product, including the cardboard box the seat is packaged in. This is not the case though, after opening the Yepp Maxi box, the installation pamphlet attached to the chair itself and the black/orange safety sticker adhered to the side of the leg protectors clearly states the Yepp Maxi seat is only rated for a maximum load of 18kg/40lb. That is an eight pound difference. For a child to gain eight pounds in early childhood can take some a year or more. If this seat is used regularly that highly increases the possibly rate of failure due to the child becoming heavier and the consumer under the impression the child still fits properly. I have reported this to Amazon.com and a second and third replacement Yepp seat was sent out to me. All of these seats have the same weights listed on them 22kg/48lb Max on the product’s box and 18kg/40lb Max on the actual chair. I have since returned these seats and Amazon has their listing under review. I have also done extensive research on the web to find a possible 40lb Yepp Maxi seat for the case the packaging was mislabeled and they do not make/list a product as such. Additionally, I emailed the GMG Yepp contact us option on the Yepp website inquiring about this issue and have not received any response from them. I took pictures of this issue (screen-shot of Amazon’s listing and MGM Yepp Maxi website listing, product’s cardboard box, installation pamphlet, and safety sticker) with the contradicting information.
