I am a registered cps technician, #t9852. I attempted to install a century smartmove 44709svr seat, manufacture date 6/6/01 into a vehicle. Base does not lock seat into a 45 degree angle in the rear facing position, the angle determination is on the base, not the seat, and cannot give indication of proper seat alignment since it checks the base angle and not the seat angle (which doesn't lock). The belt path for rear facing is on the seat, not the base, proper tension to hold the seat may force it from a 45 degree angle when tightened.
The car seat does not fit properly in any the owner's vehicles. Whenever the car turns left or right, the car seat tips over or falls to either side.

I removed my carseat cover to wash it and discovered that the straps that secure my child had both frayed halfway through at a point where they were hidden under the cover.had i not removed the cover and discovered this failure of the straps, they eventually could have torn all the way through and no longer protected my child.this carseat is a century smart moves 4710cft, manufacture date 19980306c, expiration date 12/04.century is now owned by graco.
