Safety 1st Vantage High Back Booster Car Seat in Proton


If you own it READ THIS REVIEW!!!! DANGER do not buy!1

I had purchased two of these units from WalMart and had found a serious problem. Both units fail after adjusting the harness adjustment strap (pg. 8 of instruction book). The failure is this after an adjustment is made the harness release lever fails to cinch down tight enough on the harness adjustment strap to prevent slippage of the strap. I have made adjustments then placed my arm in the harness and pulled the harness adjustment strap loose enough to cause serious compromise to occupant safety. I have repeated this several times on both seats. Since contacting Consumers Reports U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Dorel Juvenile Group (manufacturer of the seats) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Dorel Juvenile Group agreed to send me two more seats in exchange for the defective seats. I received the two replacement seats February 1 2010. Upon inspection I immediately noticed one of the two seats exhibits the same failure as the original two seats. I find this alarming as I now am experiencing 75% failure rate on a car seat model that is top rated.More detail ...
