| The shoulder belt clip for child safety seat which is built in car is defective. yh | |||
| 04/01/1998 | |||
| We own a century model 100297 carseat. the shoulder harness latches in the back on a metal clip. i have on one occassion actually pulled the shoulder harness to adjust and had the harness come right through the seat. it came off of the metal latch behind the seat. upon closer inspection of this latch, i do not see what is preventing the should harness straps from coming off the metal clip at any given time..especially in an accident. please let me know if there is a way to ensure that they won't. thank you. | |||
