After viewing the nhtsa car seat recall list that was recently updated (valid through 9/22/06), i noticed the evenflo tribute recall was missing from the list.this recall involved css manufactured 9/8/05 through 09/22/05.this information should be included in the nhtsa car seat recall list.
When installing the evenflo tribute rear facing, we needed to use a water noodle to get the proper recline.when i pushed down on the seat to tighten the belt, the foot cracked.and i'm not a big person (5'4, 120lb).
I was driving in my car on thursday june 19th with my 5 year old son. He was in a tribute car seat. We were listening to songs on the radio when he got excited and kicked up his knee. The overhead shield on his car seat broke apart.
While i was driving down the road i made a left turn and my car seat tilted far enough where i had to pull over . This was after i had it professonally installed.(related vehicle information: model year=2002, make=ford, model=taurus).
The contact owns a evenflo safety seat, model name: 378 (tribute), model number 3812198 and manufactured on december 11, 2009. The contact stated that the chest harness was able to slide up and down allowing the child to get loose in the safety seat. In addition, the contact stated that the harness failed to unlatch and the straps remained tightened. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
I am contacting you in regards to my children's car seats. I have twin 2 1/2 year olds that are physically capable of climbing out of the evenflo tribute car seats.they simply push the lap belt down and climb out.it isn't because i have children with abnormal abilities, it is happening because any child within the same age span could easily do the same.i contacted evenflo with my complaint and received an e-mail stating that i need to teach my children they must be fastened safely in their seats before the vehicle will move.my children understand that and they are always safely fastened upon departure.they crawl out when they are tired or frustrated and that usually happens while traveling 55 mph on a busy road.today we were traveling in heavy rain and they crawled out and were climbing around with vehicle in motion.i feel like they should be so snuggly fit in their seats that climbing out isn't possible.i guess i could do what most people would do and just keeping driving around with them always taking the belt off, but i can't risk that!my conscience is telling me to buy another brand/seat, but i don't think that is fair to ask the consumer to do so.i only need them for 6 more months.i noticed on the evenflo website that the same type of car sear "evenflo tribute" had been recalled.it is not the same model number as mine, but am wondering what the previous cause was. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that you have to offer.i am extremely frustrated and i feel that i am fighting a battle that any mother should not have to argue.small children should not be able to remove themselves from their car seats.i feel certain that if an accident were to occur i would be considered at fault for not having them in their seats.where is the liability for the manufacturer to make sure that children are not able to remove themselves from their car seat?again, i think you for your time and look forward to a response.
