Osprey Child Safety Products is proactively offering its Poco child carrier customers a retrofitted Poco Seat Pad free of charge. With the seat insert, all generations of the child carrier will meet a new standard set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
The new standard is expected to become mandatory for child carriers manufactured after January 1, 2015. Providing this retrofitted seat is not required of Osprey but instead Osprey is voluntarily offering this insert free to customers. Whether or not customers choose to install the Poco Seat Pad, the Poco child carrier is still safe for use when used according to manufacturer instructions, says the company.
“We want both our past and current Poco child carrier customers to enjoy miles of fun together on the trail,” said Tom Barney, CEO of Osprey Packs. “With this new insert, we are able to bring Poco child carriers purchased in the past up to the most recent standards.”
The retrofit consists of a wider seat pad that fits on top of the existing saddle. The seat pad can be quickly and easily secured with a strap that clips under the saddle. Installation takes only a few minutes.
Orders for the Poco Seat Pad retrofit kit can be placed at www.ospreypacks.com/pocoseatpad where customers can also find full details about this update including an FAQ and installation video. Customers may also contact Osprey directly via email at pocoseatpad@ospreypacks.com or by phone 1-866-951-5197. Like all Osprey products, the Poco Series is covered for lifetime by the brand’s All Mighty Guarantee.
