Consumer Description

MY THREE YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER WAS BUCKLED INTO CAR SEAT IN SECOND ROW PASSENGER SIDE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS MOVED ALL THE WAY FORWARD TO ALLOW EASY EXIT FOR HER AND HER BOOK BAG. I STOPPED SUDDENLY FOR A YELLOW LIGHT. THE SEAT MY GRAND DAUGHTER WAS IN FLEW FORWARD AND LANDED HER FACE ON THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HER. SHE WAS SCREAMING, I HAD TO LEAN OVER AND PUSH HER SEAT BACK INTO PLACE. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 35-45 MPH. AT FIRST IN MY MIND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE CAR SEAT BUT KNEW IN WAS WELL STRAPPED DOWN, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE WHOLE SEAT LEANING FORWARD. SHE HAS A FEW BRUISES ON HER FACE. I DROVE TO THE HONDA DEALER TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM. I WILL BE DROPPING THE CAR BACK OFF THERE TONIGHT WHEN MY HUSBAND CAN DRIVE US HOME.
