Consumer Description

MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO SEE HOW MANY TIMES SHE COULD WRAP THE SHOULDER BELT AROUND HER NECK. I WAS UNAWARE AS I WAS GETTING MY OTHER CHILDREN BUCKLED IN. BEFORE WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE, I TURNED TO SEE IF SHE TOO WAS BUCKLED IN AND FOUND HER USING HER FINGERS BETWEEN HER NECK AND THE BELT TO TRY TO FREE HERSELF AS THE SLACK HAD BEEN PULLED BACK IN. WE IMMEDIATELY GOT SOME SCISSORS TO CUT THE BELT TO LET HER FREE. THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME OTHER KID DOING THIS AND NOT HAVING ANYONE OR ANYTHING AROUND TO HELP MAKES ME NERVOUS. BIZARRE, I KNOW, BUT KIDS COME UP WITH RIDICULOUS STUFF ALL THE TIME. *TR
