 Integrated booster seat broke apart at hinge linking seat to seat-back (seat belt functioned, but only to hold the integrated booster seat in place). the metal hinge broke into 4 pieces and completely disengaged from the seat/back. the seat was used by only one child, and at 55 lbs well below the weight limit of 80 pounds. the integrated booster seat remained in the booster-seat position most of the time and was not subject to an unusual amount of opening and closing. this suggests a serious design flaw that could jeopardize the safety and even the life of a child strapped into the integrated booster seat. if the structural integrity failure was not noticed by a parent and the vehicle was involved in a high-impact crash, the seat could disengage from the vehicle itself, propelling the child into seats or windows.
