Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Choosing child safety seat on the menu brought me to this form...anyway, child safety seats that do not have a means to adjust the straps without removing the safety seat from the vehicle are unsafe. many parents will just put their child in thinking the seat is safely installed and they don't realize that proper strap adjustment is a major part of the child's safety. i recommend a recall on all seats that don't have an adjustment lever at the front of the seat. this time of year is especially dangerous, when the weather one day will require a winter coat and the weather the next is summer like. an example of an unsafe seat is the cosco ventura. an example of a safe seat is the century brevvera.*ak
