Insert, Padding problem

The shoulder straps will not stay. They are supposed to lock in place once you adjust it and buckle the child in, but unfortunately, they will play back-and-forth and they will not lock in place. It is the same problem that nuna is having with other versions of their car seat. We followed all instructions for cleaning, all instructions for maintenance, we have contacted the manufacturer and are unsatisfied with their response. They will not tell us what they think is broken, they will not tell us how to potentially fix it, nor will they admit that there is a problem, even though we have shown them video evidence. Instead, they want us to re-purchase a replacement item for half price. This issue allows the child to climb out of the car seat because the straps will not restrain them. The child can simply push on the straps and climb out.
