This is a complaint about a child safety seat.the problem with this seat is that when a child is buckled into the restraint the chest clip is only adjustable to a certain level that in many instances leaves it so that it can get no looser than to rest on the childs neck.this is supposed to be on the childs chest as this web site explains.i originally made a complaint about this seat being unsafe in march 2001.the manufacturer sent replacement parts to make this seat safe.however, my child is once again unable to use this seat safely.i am a conscientious parent who realizes the importance of properly using safety seats.i am, however, concerned with other parents inadvertantly using this seat when it will cause harm to their child.why hasn't this product been recalled?why hasn't the manufacturer been made to make replacement parts.this seat has a serious defect that the manufacturer continually states is only a problem with "some larger stature children or with bulky clothes". Even if this were true, there is no warning on the box or seat that says it may not fit certain children or that you can't wear a coat with it.i live in michigan and when i complained about this the customer service representative said that i just would not be able to use a coat on my daughter.what if someone were to accidentally put a child my daughters size into this seat with a coat and an accident occured?please don't wait for something like this to happen to warn parents about the dangers of this safety seat. Since my last complaint i recieved replacement straps from the manufacturer.these replacement straps worked fine for a while, but now my child has grown so that i have to put the straps in the slot slightly below her shoulders to allow enough room for the chest clip to not rest right on her neck.if i use the higher strap slot the chest clip would be right on her neck.using even a this coat on my child causes the same problem.
Whenever child is in child safety seat & harness buckle is locked. The buckle would not stay latched like it should. It would keep unlocking from the locking mechanism.

Evenflo express booster model # 2481181p1 i purchased a new evenflo express booster child restraint seat for my son who is 3 years old, 39 inches tall and weighs 29 pounds.the seat is designed for use with a removable 5 point harness for children weighing between 20-40 lbs/29-43 inches tall or for use without the harness for children 30-80 lbs/37-54 inches tall.the 5 point harness includes a "chest clip" that positions the two shoulder straps on the child's chest and must be slid along the straps and positioned at "armpit level".the 5 point harness also has a "strap adjuster" on the right hand shoulder strap to adjust the length of the harness.my problem with this seat is that the chest clip contacts the harness adjuster and prevents me from correctly positioning the chest clip.with my son wearing only a t-shirt, the lowest that i can position the chest clip is at the top of his shoulders.with my son wearing a winter jacket, the lowest i can position the chest clip is across his throat!i contacted evenflo at their consumer service number today (1-800-233-5921) and filed a report with denise who said that evenflo was aware of this problem, that several reports had already been filed and that "engineering" was working on a solution.evenflo's recommendation was to cease using the seat until my child gained enough weight to use the seat without the 5 point harness. My concern is that although my child falls in the midrange of height and weight for this seat with the 5 point harness, the "strap adjuster" prevents correct positioning of the "chest clip".without a jacket, the best i can adjust the chest clip has it pass at my child's shoulder.with a jacket, the best i can adjust the chest clip has it pass across my child's throat.in either case, even a mild accident would probably transfer most of the restraint loads to my child's neck resulting in serious injury or death.obviously, i have stopped using the (brand new) seat.

Seats with this style of harness tie should be recalled, and the manufacturer should provide a child-proof replacement.

Evenflo tribute, model #3792098; manufacturer. Date 16 december 2002.while working at a cps seat check event this weekend, we had a 6 month old, 21 lb. Baby that came in a rear-facing infant seat.the infant had out grown this seat, so we were going to give them a new convertible seat. The seats we had on hand were evenflo tribute, model #3792098; manufacturer. Date december 16, 2002.the straps, as designed for rear-facing infant were much too tight for the baby.we could not adjust the straps at all to loosen them.we read the manufacturer instructions thoroughly but could not find another way to adjust the straps to allow the baby to fit in the seat.we did however, change the straps on the splitter plate to the "forward-facing only" notch.while we knew this was not the proper thing to do, we thought if we could get them tight enough on the baby, it would be better than sending the baby away in the current seat she had out grown.this did not work either, as then the straps could not be adjusted tight enough.we ultimately had to send the baby away in the infant seat and advised the parents to purchase a seat that would fit the baby, advising not to buy an evenflo tribute.we have 12 of these convertible seats on hand to be used for future cps events.however, while they are fine for use as a forward facing seat, we feel there is no way it can actually be used as a rear-facing infant seat due to the straps designed as they are.we feel this needs to be checked for possible recall.
