Component | SEAT BELTS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The seatbelts' mechanism that requires the seatbelt to be fully retracted before it can be pulled out again is ultra sensitive. Almost every other time my children attempt to buckle the seatbelt, this mechanism is activated and i have to pull the belt out of the booster seat, remove the booster, allow the belt to fully retract then reinstall the booster and then attempt to buckle. Beyond a total annoyance, i never imagined this problem would endanger my children. On july 10th, my son attempted to buckle his seatbelt, but became entrapped when the seatbelt mechanism engaged and continued to tighten around his 40 lb body trapping him in his booster. I have a photo for review. It was so tight we almost had to cut the seatbelt to free him. We were barely able to slide him under. There is no manual release mechanism. The belt must be fully retracted to release it. This is alarming and dangerous, especially in conjunction with booster seat use. The booster seat prevents the seat belt from fully retracting. Please contact me for the photo. |
