Problem with Child Seat
-
Nov 25, 2007 - Baltimore, MD - Child Seat
I WAS RECENTLY INSTALLING MY BRITAX REGENT AS DIRECTED. AND USED THE CARSEAT BELT FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO IS NOW ABOUT 55 LBS. WHILE INSTALLING I SAW HOW IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THE GEN 3 SEAT BELT ACCEPTOR WOULD FAIL WHEN IT MADE CONTACT WITH HER CARSEAT. SO MY CHILD WOULD NO LONGER BE PROTECTED. IN ORDER TO INSTALL HER SEAT I HAD TO TWIST THE CONNECTOR ABOUT 8-10 TIMES TO KEEP IT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SEAT AS POSSIBLE. I TWISTED THE CONNECTOR UNTIL IT COULD NOT TWIST ANY FURTHER. I AM STILL DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MY CHILD RIDE HERE BUT I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE. I WILL BE REPLACING THE CONNECTOR AS SOON AS I CAN. I WANT TO HAVE DAIMLER CHRYSLER REPLACE MY SEAT BELT CONNECTORS WITH EITHER GEN 2 OR GEN 4 CONNECTORS. ALL GEN 3 SEAT BELT CONNECTORS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED! NOTE FOR BELOW NUMBERS. I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH YET.
