The Cosco Voyager TM Car Seat/Stroller was sold nationwide from September 1997 through November 1997, primarily through Wal-Mart, Target, Ames, Service Merchandise, Caldor and Montgomery Ward retail stores, for about $79. Consumers should call Cosco at (800) 221-6736 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST Monday through Friday for the repair instructions.
