Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I used a mighty-tite seat belt tightener in conjunction with my century bravo car seat because the car seat kept slipping with my lap belt. i installed the mighty-tite in a very tight capacity, but double checked to make sure it was not "over-tight," as the manufacturer requested. apparently it was "over-tight," although there's no way to know what "over-tight" is. over time, the mighty-tite broke the adjustable base of my car seat. i don't know how long i was driving with a broken car base -- but clearly, this was a dangerous situation. i learned that the car base was broken after i removed the car seat to turn the car seat around from rear facing to forward facing. i think you should look into the mighty-tite product (made by sunshine kids, www.sunshinekidsjp.com 888-336-7909). apparently it can cause a dangerous situation. i carefully read the instructions for the mighty-tite and thought i was installing it correctly. i am a very intelligent woman (i attended harvard university). if i can make this mistake, after carefully reading the instructions, a lot of people are probably also making this mistake. thanks for looking into this.
