Major defect with our cosco dreamride carbed. The carseat is hinged to provide an upright or reclined "bed" position, depending on how you install it in your car. When lifting the seat out of my car (in the upright position) the seat folded in on itself at the hinged joint, with my 3mo old son inside. He was not hurt but the carseat was no longer usable. I contacted cosco immediately, returned the seat to them and received a full refund. Before this incident I had the carseat examined at a usaa seat inspection. I was told not to use the seat in the "bed" positon becuase it could not be installed securely in that position. When I contacted cosco the csr told me that the baby's weight (???) would be enough to keep the seat stable!! I think not! anway, I am horrified at the thought that an innocent baby is riding around in one of these dreamride seats and that their parent think it will help protect their precious cargo. I am going to pass this info on to anyone interested. I hope these safety hazards will be addressed immediately!.
