For the Mom whose child is 2 lbs shy of outgrowing her seat, she needs to make sure that she hasn’t already outgrown it by height. The shoulder straps need to be at or below her shoulders, and her head must be 1″ or more from the top of the shell. Please contact her and make sure that her child still fits in her infant only bucket seat.

I’d also encourage the winners who have yet to receive their prizes to contact Evenflo directly, and ask to speak to the office of the President of the company and request action on the part of Evenflo. It is possible that they do not know what is going on. Just remember, the Personal Assistant of the President has almost the power of God within the company and can and will get things done! Don’t hesitate to raise a stink over this, but do it nicely…

I guess I should be grateful that I never received the products because I was hosting giveaways with the reviews as well. The winners would probably still be waiting on their prizes too.

I was contacted last year late Summer from the new rep asking if I’d like to do a review and giveaway. I agreed because who wouldn’t want to review a new car seat and have a giveaway. These are expensive and I like offering free things like this to my readers since so many are unfortunate during this time with the economy.

I was supposed to receive this very car seat before Christmas, it never came. I contacted the lady from late Summer to the first of January about 5 different times. Each time it was supposed to ship out the next week, etc. I finally decided it wasn’t worth my trouble trying to get one, even though they contacted me! {I can’t stand when this happens} Now that I have read this happening to you as well as others, I’m glad that I never received mine.

I must tell you, though, that they are not alone in failing to fulfill prizes. I’m still waiting for wine glasses I won Nov. 29, 2009, and expected to have for Christmas. This from a company at least as prestigious as Evenflo.

I suspect it’s the individual reps who are at fault, and that the companies’ execs would be mortified to know that bloggers and giveaway-winning readers are being “stiffed” by the PR departments. My solution is to write directly to the Marketing Director and request my prize. Perhaps I never will get it, but at least I will have made my point, and let them know that it’s NOT OKAY to accept the publicity and then not deliver the quid pro quo. And, of course, I’ll never patronize them again.
