Read complaints for BABY TREND 6352 (2008)
There is no specific incident but basically the carry handle on our babytrend flex loc infant car seat does not engage like it should.two buttons are depressed on the carry handle to put it into storage/vehicle position to prevent rocking.per the manual, this is a safety feature and is the recommended use in a vehicle.the buttons have been hard to press since the beginning (we bought this seat in july 2008 for our first son), and now with our second son, it is almost impossible to make the handle go down and at times i cannot at all and am forced to leave it up in the vehicle. It seems to get worse over time.there are a lot of reviews of this seat online now as opposed to when i bought and they all seem to list this as a major complaint.i wouldn't have bought the seat if i had seen all those reviews back then.babytrend seems aware of the problem, because they have a fix for it.they offered to replace the handle but i would have to pay shipping back and forth because my seat is now out of warranty since it is two years old, but that's not worth the shipping costs. We will not be able to ever use this seat again or sell it in good conscience.we will be moving my son out to a different seat now that he is at the 22lb limit, but this seems like an issue someone needs to make babytrend address.if it's a known defect and a safety issue, they are responsible and probably should have had a recall by now. The model# 6352 and s/n# cs65332sc005671.from the reviews i have seen online, this is not just limited to my model (the models have the same design and really just vary by color anyhow). Thank you for your time.
Model number: 6352manufactured on: 041008the handle release buttons have been troublesome since the date of purchase in november 2008 making the carry handle difficult to adjust. We have to use force so that the release buttons can allow us to position the carry handle. We were trying to overlook this problem because eventually we could make the carry handle work, but yesterday 5/18/09, when i was lifting the car seat to tie my infant in, the carry handle did not clip and my baby fliped over falling onto the floor face forward. I believe the defect with the handle release buttons is affecting the clipping of the carry handle. I would appreciate any information on how to repair or replace the release buttons.
Since purchased the flex-loc handle was difficult to move up and down. I have owned it for 4 months and now it will not move at all. It is stuck in the up position and it is difficult to get the baby in and out of the infant seat.
This is a rear facing infant car seat advertised as being acceptable for a child up to 22 lbs.my son is 16 lbs.the straps are not long enough to secure the child.
