| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Britax marathon car seat - the latch that holds the adjuster strap is faulty in design. it is too easy for the child to lift the latch, lean forward and the 5-point restraint is no longer secure. the latch is facing the direction that enables a child to simple put his/her fingers curled around the lever pull toward them and lean forward releasing the restraint. this could cause serious injury in the event of an accident. the company had no recommendations other than giving my child a toy to occupy their time while in the seat (stupid idea). my son is only 28 lbs and 2 years old. this seat is designed for toddlers up to 65 lbs. please investigate this before someone is seriously injured. *jb |
