| Tether, Lower Anchor (on Car Seat Or Vehicle) problems |
I purchased these carseats after I was in an accident and needed to replace the 2 that I had, the tethers attached to the carseat were not effective at all, I could not get them anywhere near close to actually securing the carseats. So I opted to use my vehicles seatbelts, with the seatbelts pulled as far as I could get them and locked the carseats still moved more than an inch. I had to have my husband help me push the carseat as far down into my seat that I could to get the least amount of movement as possible. One of the carseats even tipped over while I was driving after all of this. Needless to say that I will be replacing these seats as I do not feel they would keep my children safe in the event of an accident, I feel as though these seats endanger my children because they aren't keeping them secure enough not to become projectiles in the event of an accident.
When this seat is first installed with the seat belt, it has a tight fit. However, the install seems to loosen for no apparent reason on its own. This occurs frequently. The seat is properly installed with pulling the slack out of the seat belt, securing the snuglock, and then locking the vehicle seat belt. I am concerned that the install will loosen in the event of an accident, and my toddler will not be properly secured. When the seat loosens, it moves more than one inch from side to side. It has even loosened so much that it began visibly lean to one side.
