EVENFLO EMBRACE CAR SEAT DRIVER

In the Odyssey, the lane departure warning and forward collision warning systemsвЂ™ malfunction lights illuminated, and the driver info screen displayed alerts that both systems needed to be checked. However, we ran into problems when we tested the system in a top-of-the-line 2015 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite. In testing, the SensorSafe Embrace DLX worked well in the 2016 Hyundai Tucson, 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, 2015 Kia Sedona and 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Hybrids or cars with engine stop-start technology can use the car seat system after contacting Evenflo to get a different data plug. The system only works in model-year 2008 or newer gas- or diesel-powered cars. It also will chime if the chest clip becomes unhooked at any point while the car is running. The plug measures, among other things, whether a car is running or off if the chest clip is fastened when the car is turned off, the data plug will emit a chime to remind the driver that a baby is still in the car seat. It comes with a chest clip transmitter and a receiver plug thatвЂ™s installed in the carвЂ™s OBD-II data port (usually located under the steering column). The SensorSafe Embrace DLX rear-facing infant seat is for children from 4 to 35 pounds and from 17 to 30 inches tall. Related: Too Many Kids Die of In-Car Heatstroke Each Year In our testing, the SensorSafe Embrace DLX worked well in four out of the five cars we installed it in, but in the 2015 Honda Odyssey, the car-seat system caused the minivanвЂ™s safety system warning lights to illuminate in multiple tests. The car-seat system generates a chime once the car is turned off, reminding the parent thereвЂ™s a baby in the backseat. The Evenflo Advanced SensorSafe Embrace DLXВ is an infant-safety seat designed to prevent caregivers from forgetting their kids in hot cars, which can lead to heatstroke.
