$3.5M Evenflo booster seat safety class action settlement

Evenflo agreed to a $3.5 million settlement to resolve claims that its “Big Kid” booster seats were not as safe or thoroughly tested as promised in product advertising.

The Evenflo settlement benefits consumers who purchased an Evenflo “Big Kid” booster seat between Jan. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2022.

According to the class action lawsuit, Evenflo used false advertising to mislead consumers into purchasing its “Big Kid” booster seats. Evenflo allegedly advertised these booster seats as “side impact tested” and safe for children weighing at least 30 pounds.

Evenflo is a car seat, stroller and baby essentials retailer.

Evenflo has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $3.5 million to resolve the booster seat safety class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Evenflo settlement, consumers can claim up to two eligible booster seats and receive a cash payment or an Evenflo credit.

Settlement payments will vary, with each claimant receiving a pro rata share of the settlement fund for each claimed booster seat. No payment estimates are available at this time.

Class members who choose to receive an Evenflo credit instead of a pro rata payment will receive a $25 credit that can be used to purchase Evenflo products directly from the brand’s website. 

In addition to providing monetary benefits in the forms of payments and credits, Evenflo agreed to provide more information regarding minimum weight requirements for its “Big Kid” seats and the testing performed on these seats. 

Evenflo will also conform to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s regulations regarding child weight recommendations and post an education video to inform consumers on how to safely transition a child between car seats and booster seats.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Oct. 10, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the booster seat safety class action lawsuit settlement is scheduled for Feb. 25, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Nov. 24, 2025.
