Child Seat problem #1

This car seat has a gap for a seat belt (when the seat is changed to a booster), between the back and bottom. The gap is on both sides. My child has gotten her leg stuck in the gap many many times. If I were in an accident while her leg is stuck, I cannot imagine the damage that would be done to her. Every time she cries I have to pull over to check if her leg is stuck/get it out. This is incredibly dangerous. She is rear facing in the seat. She weighs 19 pounds. I have pictures if necessary to further describe this failure. Graco forever with safety surround convertible car seat. Model number: 1939912.

Child Seat problem #2

Without warning child safety seat handle broke off when the consumer was pulling the seat out of the vehicle.

Child Seat problem #3

Owner unable to install rear facing child safety seat. Dealer and child seat manufacturer stated that the owner was on her own.
