Big Kid Booster Seat Class Action Payout: $25 per Seat
The Evenflo settlement offers each claimant a $25 credit per Big Kid booster seat, capped at two seats. Why only two? Court documents explain the cap was set to prevent households from mass-claiming seats well beyond typical use. It reflects the “average” family purchase patterns uncovered during discovery, where most families owned one or two boosters, not more.
Interestingly, no receipt is required. Instead, claimants can submit details such as retailer, year, and seat color—or even a photo of the booster or packaging. While unusual in class actions, this flexibility acknowledges that purchases date back as far as 2008, making receipts nearly impossible to locate. To avoid abuse, the Settlement Administrator (Epiq) must use fraud-detection systems. Photos, for instance, may be cross-checked against known model patterns, and households submitting more than five claims are flagged for manual review.
The $25 credit wasn’t arbitrary. Negotiators tied it to the average retail cost of a booster seat add-on or accessory, ensuring consumers received value while Evenflo avoided open-ended liability. Claimants will also receive a cash payout from the $3.05M fund, which could be more or less than $25 depending on how many valid claims are filed. Payments are expected after final court approval in 2026.
