| Chest Clip, Buckle, Harness problems |
On, 9/27/23, I took my son to daycare around 9 am and went to norfolk, ne for the day. I ran errands and had an appointment which my car sat in the sun for 1. 5 hours at one time. Between stores we turned the air on as I had my oldest child with me. We came home to west point, ne and picked up my other children about 4 pm. All car seat buckles were in normal working condition. I parked my car back in our attached garage on the east side of our house. Around 7:30 am on 9/28/23, I attempted to buckle my son again and noticed the male end of the chest clip was severely bent as if it had melted. My car has tinted windows in the second row where the car seat is located. The car sat in the sun, but not directly on the carseat, for the 1. 5 hours while we were at the appointment. The car seat may have had direct sunlight while we were eating lunch which was no longer than 30 minutes. The car was again in the sun for another 2 hours but the carseat was not in direct sunlight during that time. Luckily, I had a spare carseat and was able to discontinue use of the car seat with the melted chest clip. I would not have been able to buckle the chest clip in the condition it was in on 9/28/23 ensuring the shoulder straps would be in the correct position on my child. The car seat has not been inspected by anyone other than myself.
