Was taking infant from carrier when the handle unlocked causing the carrier to tip and the infant to fall out. Carrier handle in now loose and doesn'tlock.
I have usedthis infant car seat with both my children. This car seat causes bruising along the spine. I have had to put cushioning into the carseat to help with the bruising.
The seat sits straight up while in the base which causes the infants head to fall forward which is unsafe because if an accident occured thehilds head and neck could be. Severely injuered it cante fixed and im not sure what causes it.
The handle failed to stay in a locked position when i picked up my son by the handle at the doctors office the handle released and my son fell forward to the floor. It was a good thing he was at floor level. At first i thought it was me until a few days later the handle malfunctioned again. Evenflo has agreed to replace the car seat however with one of the similar setup. I'm afraid this might happen again. Injuries was minimal. This time.
I have a car seat made from even flo. The restraint is horrible. I was with my child in the back seat and her head kept falling forward to the point where i had to hold her head back. Since the car seat sits straight up and doesn't recline at all it looks like my child is chocking. And this is what causes her head to fall forward. It a beautiful system but im very displeased with its performance. She isn't hurt but i think it should be fixed. Since its such a convenient product at a low price..
I noticed, at times, that the rear-facing child restraint car seat with base leans to the right when i make turns. It doesn't seem to be stable.my son is within the weight and height limit.

Dear nhtsa,please investigate the following serious concerns that have affected my vehicle safety in addition to other chevy impala drivers: vehicle: 2007 chevy impala. 65,000 miles, 1 owner,impala ls 3.5 l v6safety concern # 1-intermediate steering shaft - gm refuses to acknowledge the seriousness of this problem. My vehicle's steering wheel clicks during driving & temporarily jams causing a feeling of disconnection from the road.it has caused a momentary loss of steering control, and i feel this is a serious safety concern to be addressed. This is an ongoing design problem for many gm models(as per my google search), gm refuses to make corrections to the design nor issue a recall.---------------------------------safety concern # 2-power steering pump-power steering pump loosing effectiveness & turning performance, meaning pump may be failing at any time.this too is another common problem with chevy models. Please encourage gm to expand power steering pump recall to include chevy impala models.----------------------------safety concern # 3-rear back seat center seat belt looses tension when used in conjunction with infant car seat. When vehicle goes around 30 mile/hr turns or mild turns, seat belt locking mechanism(the one that holds the seat belt tense during braking) disengages & permits the seat belt to loosen causing child seat to move across the seat & or in one serious case with my son flip sideways(luckily my wife caught the seat as it tipped sideways).i have followed all safety instructions as per car seat manufacturer (evenflow aura travel system).this is a concern, since the tension only stays firm in abrupt stops, this leads me to question the safety in a roll over scenario.i have since used the seat level car seat hooks since the past few events( this greatly reduces the ease of sharing the car seat between vehicles). My other vehicle(nissan altima) has no such problem, thetension mechanism on the altima remains firm
