Consumer Description

THE PLASTIC COVERS OVER THE LOWER CHILD SAFETY RESTRAINT BUCKLES RIPPED OUT DURING DRIVING, CAUSING THE CHILD SEAT TO BECOME LOOSE AND UNSAFE. THE ANGLE OF THESE COVERS FORCES THE CHILD SEAT LOWER BUCKLE TO ANGLE HORIZONTALLY OUTWARDS. THESE COVERS ARE ONLY SECURED BY A THIN PLASTIC TAB, SO IF THE PRESSURE OF THE STRAP PULLS UPWARDS ON THE COVER AND BREAKS THE TAB DURING AN ACCIDENT OR REGULAR USAGE, THE CHILD SEAT STRAPS WILL BECOME LOOSE AND THE CHILD WILL BE AT SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY. THE CHILD SEAT I HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH WAS A COMMON, BEST-SELLING BRAND IN BOTH THE U.S. AND EUROPE. THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE SEAT ITSELF.
