| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I currently have the britax husky youth safety seat for my 3 1/2 year old. this seat is offered for children 22-80 lbs. my daughter is 34lbs, well within the guidelines for this seat, however, the buckle part of the harness is way too far from her body. it does not secure her properly around the hips. while she is in the seat she slides down and the hip restraints slide up her torso. i took the seat to a professional installation clinic and they also noted the problem. i have owned two britax roundabouts and i love them. unfortunately my 3 1/2 year old daughter has outgrown the roundabout and is too small for the husky which is advertised for her size. i am concerned about the poor safety this seat will offer. many parents out there do not realize where exactly the restraint should be positioned and around the waist is not where it should be. when i contacted britax they had no suggestions for me. i am writing this as a concerned consumer that a company as prominent in the car safety industry as britax can sell a restraint that obviously cannot secure the size advertised. i believe the only thing needed would be a third slot to move the buckle closer to the childs body. |
