Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was forced to brake suddenly and the car seat my 4 year old daughter was buckeled into went flying into the back of the passenger seat. the problem is that the seat belts in the 1998 dodge caravan are easily depressed by a game boy, dolls or my older daughter either buckeling or unbuckeling her booster seat. i've found my 4 year olds strap in car seat unbuckeled at least 6 times in the past 4 years. had we been in a serious accident rather than just a sudden braking my daughter would have been severly injured.*ak
