2 min readNuna Baby
Nuna Baby Essentials has issued a recall for 608,786 Rava car seats due to a potential safety defect identified in the harness adjuster mechanism. The recall, confirmed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), affects models manufactured between July 16, 2016, and October 25, 2023.
Why the Recall Was Issued
The recall was initiated following complaints of debris entering the area around the front harness adjuster button. According to the NHTSA’s investigation, this debris can cause the adjuster’s teeth to fail, preventing the harness strap from staying securely tightened. While no injuries or fatalities have been reported, the defect poses a potential safety hazard for children.
Models and Features Impacted
The recall targets Rava car seats with plastic harness adjuster buttons, which differ from newer models featuring fabric-covered adjuster areas. Affected model numbers include:
- CS-50
- CS05101
- CS05103
- CS05104
- CS05105
- CS05106
- CS05107
- CS05109
- CS05110
- CS05111
- CS05114
- CS05115
To confirm if your car seat is part of the recall, locate the model number on a label underneath the car seat.
Remedy Options
Nuna has pledged to provide free remedy kits to affected customers, which include:
- A new seat pad

- Care instructions to maintain the harness adjuster mechanism
Parents can register for the remedy kit on Nuna’s website or by contacting customer service at 1-855-686-2891 or via email at info.usa@nunababy.com.
Continued Use of Affected Seats
If the recalled car seat is functioning correctly and the harness securely restrains the child, parents may continue using it while waiting for the remedy kit. Nuna advises parents to follow the car seat’s instruction manual and perform a simple harness function test:
- Press on the back of the seat while firmly pulling the harness straps forward.
- Avoid pressing the release button during this test.
Nuna provides a video demonstration on its website for additional guidance.
Parents of affected car seats are encouraged to take prompt action by registering for the free remedy kit. Nuna Baby Essentials has yet to announce a formal schedule for remedy distribution but assures all affected customers will be addressed.
