Other/i Am Not Sure problem #1

Nuna exec next car seat. I have the older version of this car seat for my older child and it works great. The new version ("next") has an issue where the tigthening/loosening strap folds over and gets stuck, thus making it impossible to loosen the straps and remove the baby from the seat which is very dangerous for the child, especially in case of an emergency. This is not the way the item should work. I contacted the company, they sent me a full replacement. The replacement seat acts the same way, they are willing to send me another shell replacement. This is clearly a production/design issue - not a one-off seat issue.

Other/i Am Not Sure problem #2

We were driving on the freeway when my son started screaming to a point we had to get over and stop to check what was going on. His arm got stuck in the forward facing belt path and he couldn’t get it out. I had to get him completely unbuckled in order to take him out of the seat sideways as otherwise I would have pulled the arm out at the shoulder.

Other/i Am Not Sure problem #3

This is now the 2nd carseat, same exact brand and model. The headrest is to be positioned in certain spots as the child grows. I raised it to where its needed but the headrest falls. I have watched countless youtube videos and read the instruction manuals how to and the headrest still goes to the lowest sitting position possible. When it happened to the first carseat they sent out backing plates for me to replace and it did not help. Then sent a new whole headrest piece to replace which didn't help either. I had to slightly put my foot down in order for them to just send a replacement seat. Now this is happening again with the same modeled seat for my other child. This isn't just 1 seat its happened to it's 2. Paying a ton of money for the best safety seats for our kids and to have an issue with the headrest which is a major part of the body that needs to have safety coverage and properly fastened /following the rules/instructions. The headrest is what's not working properly, it is available for inspection if needed. It puts any child at risk since its not sitting at the height needed can possible hurt the childs head/neck possibly. This specific carseat has not been inspected but we did send the other carseat I did have an issue with back to the manufacturer.
