Consumer Description

MY 3 YEAR OLD SON'S SEATBELT LOCKED AROUND HIM WHEN HE THRUST HIMSELF FORWARD IN HIS CAR SEAT. I ATTEMPTED TO GET HIM OUT, BUT HE HAD APPARENTLY PUT THE TOP PORTION OF THE SEATBELT BEHIND HIS NECK. ANY ATTEMPT I MADE TO GET HIM OUT ONLY RESULTED IN THE SEATBELT TIGHTENING MORE AND MORE. SUBSEQUENTLY, I HAD TO CALL 911 AND MEDICS CAME TO CUT HIM OUT OF THE SEATBELT.
