Child Seat Shield Assembly problem #1

Our problem is with the car seat we bought. It is a cosco alpha omega with a over head shield on it. The overhead shield, where it attaches to the seat comes off often, and parts have fallen out. This perticular seat , with the over head shield, should be removed from stores. Many people have had this same complaint and the fact that the shield comes off so easily is a danger to the child.

Child Seat Tether Strap problem #2

My problem is the plastic part I hook the two the two straps together with. My 2 year old son is capable of removing this. He is then only secured in with 3 points on the seat. I would like to know how to proceed with concern. I have spoken to evenflo. I didnt receive the help to resolve my problem.
