Chest Clip, Buckle, Harness problem #1

2021 Chevrolet Suburban. Consumer writes in regard to NHTSA safety recall 22v-617.

Chest Clip, Buckle, Harness problem #2

When car seat us properly installed rear facing, no matter how tight the seatbelt secures the car seat the car seat itself slides into an unsafe reclining position. We used the tethers with no improvement. Also the location of the crotch buckle punches and oftentimes does not latch correctly. This seat is dangerous as littles cannot verbalize what is going on. The cup holders impede proper locking of buckles but are required based on the manual. Should a crash happened I’m convinced a child would be harmed due to the seat shifting in the seat. When it shifts, the feet go up and the head goes down no matter how it’s properly installed (seatbelt or tether) in the rear facing position. We had to stop multiple times on our trip from TX to PA to adjust the seats.
