| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am a certified cps technician. i was helping a father install a safety 1st intera forward facing using the latch system in the center rear position of his 2003 chevy impala. after the install, i tightened and loosened the harness to ensure it was moving properly. when i pushed in the silver harness adjuster lever to loosen the harness straps, the lever stuck in the inward position, so when you pulled the adjuster strap it would tighten the harness, but you could pull the harness straps out to loosen without touching the lever because it was stuck in the loosen position. this means an unsuspecting parent may think the harness is tight on their child, when in fact the child could move forward easily. this would obviously be a critical safety factor in a crash as the child would not be harnessed tightly to the seat. **** the model # and product year 9999 are incorrect, your drop down screens would not allow correct info to be placed. the child restraint was a safety 1st intera, model #-22-460 bdf, dom - 7/29/04 and the defective part was the harness adjuster lever, not the harness. *nm |
