Concern

Slippage of harness adjuster

Defect, as DVSA words it

A potential problem has been identified with the harness adjustment system on some Britax Freeway and Mothercare Rally child car seats. This could mean that the occupant is not afforded full protection in emergency stop or accident situations.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

The manufacturer is advising purchasers of the problem via a press announcement and by notices at retailers. All affected seats will be replaced free of charge by the manufacturer on being contacted by the purchaser.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
