Tether, Lower Anchor (on Car Seat Or Vehicle) 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.

Tether, Lower Anchor (on Car Seat Or Vehicle) problem #2

I have had 2 seats from evenflo. One purchased from target and another replacement that they sent to me as I reported the latch connectors were installed backwards/upside down. I cannot attach the base to the anchors without putting them in upside down or twisting the straps. Since this is the second one, I believe it is a manufacturing defect.
