Consumers adjust the carrier to any of three positions, rocker, feeder, or sleeper, by pushing the buttons located on each side of the carrier's handle near where the handle attaches to the carrier. The product can be folded by squeezing levers located underneath the carrier. Children's products retailers sold the Fold N' Travel carriers nationwide from April 1991 through 1993 for approximately $35.00. Consumers who own Fold N' Travel infant carriers should stop using them immediately and return the carriers to Playskool or to the store where purchased, for a full refund.
