| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have five year old twins and have purchased several booster seats with the same result. i follow the instructions on installation, however once a child raeches forty lbs. all boosters use the vehicles restraint system. my girls sleep in the vehicle and its only a matter of time before they fall asleep and literally fall out of the system designed to keep them sage. the sholder belt is attached and they are bent over resting in the center of the vehicle. if i get into and accident there is nothing that will hold them in their seats. the seats look secure when the child is first put in the restraint, but once they fall asleep it becomes a death trap! i have purchased three different seats with the same resut and have also put mu seats in the vehicle of friends and family with the same result. infant seats secure the child into a seat and the vehicle restraint system holds the seat in place. booster seats relie on the vehicle restraint system securing both the chils and the seat which is fine if the child is awake. booster seats are required by law in the state of rhode island good in theory but the reality is i havent found one that is as safe as an infant seat including the britax with the seat back. one of my britax star risers becomes detached from the base which means there is nothing hodling this child in her seat!*ak |
