Child Seat Problems of Dodge Stratus

Installed my daughter's seat with latch, my son rode in it once before she was born (he had been sick and lost enough weight that he was under the weight limit so I let him when he asked), and the latch came undone!! I then reinstalled it using the seat belt, good tight install. Brought her home from the hospital, no more problems with the seat. As soon as she got big enough to click the harness up one, the harness was not tightening easily and it was loosening itself. I would retighten and then one side would be too tight and the other too loose because it was not tightening evenly and then would loosen up again. Also the headrest rattles when brought above the 3rd position. I have contacted graco as I know this harness issue is a problem for many with the size4me70/mysize70 and have had returns and replacements made. I will be receiving a replacement within a couple of weeks and plan to give it another try. (related vehicle information: model year=2014, make=stratus, model=Dodge).

While driving home today and as consumer rounded a corner the child safety seat came out of the base and turned over. Consumer's child was in the seat. The child was very upset and crying. Consumer stopped to correct this problem and the child seat snapped back into position with out any problems.

We have conctaced several car seat manufacturers (fisher price and even-flo) and they do not recommend using convertible car seats in the rear position with automatic emergency locking device seat belts which is in my Dodge Stratus. We contacted Chrysler and they told us there was nothing they could do to solve the problem. I think it is very important to inform the public that to my knowledge there is not a safe child seat made that will work in the rear position in a car with a automatic emergency locking device. This I assume includes all or most Chrysler vehicles. We informed them that there are thousands if not millions of parents traveling around the daily with cars that are not capable of being used with rear facing child seats. They need to address this issue. It is disappointing that a car maker could even produce a product with sure disregard for child safety.
