The Evenflo Discovery 5 Infant Car Seat is an inexpensive way to keep your infant safe in your automobile. It is a tough little seat that has all the right features without all the added gizmos to jack up the price. Although it does not cost an arm and a leg, it still has all the nice little things that make it convenient, easy to use and easy to care for. Like the removable fabric for easy cleaning and the detachable base that you can keep in the car. All you have to do is insert the seat into the base and voila, you are ready to go.
The Evenflo name has been around more than 85 years, and is trusted the world over. By purchasing extra bases for the Evenflo Discovery 5 Infant Car Seat, you can keep one in each vehicle to make transferring the baby from one car to another a snap. The seat has three positions, and the handle makes carrying easy.
Although most tests of the Evenflo Discovery 5 Infant Car Seats showed the seats to be effective in side-impact accidents, it was discovered that there may be some risk that the seat could become detached from the base in high impact side collisions. As of February 1, 2008 Evenflo began a voluntary safety recall of models number 390,391, 534 and 552. A supplemental dual-hook fastener was issued to owners of these models for additional protection. About one million seats were affected by the recall, but the problem has apparently been resolved with the additional fastener. Newer models in the line are now supplied with the extra fastener before shipping.
Most owners of the Discovery 5 seat are satisfied with the purchase because it is easy to handle, and the light weight makes it easy to carry around.
