| The van we purchased has integrated child car seats. the buckle flap is made of hard plastic. as we were waiting at a stoplight, my 2 year old son showed me a piece of the buckle that had broken off. it was about the size of a dime. he easily could have choked on it. i informed the dealership and was told that it was under warranty and they would replace the car seats. (the other buckle is beginning to break. i then called chrysler and told them about the choking hazard and they did not see it to be a problem. if this was a toy it would have been recalled. they are replacing the buckle with the same buckle part it had. the same problem will occur. i do not want any children, including my own to choke and die. please help! | |||
