The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet suburban 1500. The contact owns a 2011 graco turbo booster seat, model number 1747302, manufactured on june 10, 2011. The contact stated the owner's manual does not provide adequate instructions for the attachment of the booster seat strap. The size of the hole that the strap travels through was extremely narrow; and both booster seat arms were poorly designed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were unavailable.updated 9/20/11 \the consumer stated significant assembly was required, the written assembly instructions were poor, and even with pictures provided they were not adequate to ensure safe installation. If the screws were not installed in the arms, they could easily detach from the seat and release the seat belt. The arms of the booster seat were not secure enough or strong enough to retain the shoulder strap in an accident. The arms of the booster seat does not prevent a child from removing the vehicle shoulder strap from its required position below the arm rest. The five slots on the back of the booster seat presented too many possible attachments points for the strap that was provided with the seat. The three slots on the back of the booster seat were too weak to secure the strap, but was the only location where the strap could easily be installed. The two corner slots located on the outer edges of the seat was strong enough to secure the straps, but they were too narrow to make installation of the strap easy. The seat belt attachment clip on the booster seat strap was slotted and could allow the vehicle seat belt to become detached in a violent accident or be removed by a determined child.

The shoulder positioning clip is not shipped assembled in the manner shown on pages 32-35 of product manual. Therefore, if picture accurately portrays how the product should look and be installed, user must reassemble product. That is, the strap is threaded backwards through the clip according to the manual's pictures.
The booster seat should include a tether strap to keep the seat in place. Just using a seatbelt around the booster is not enough to hold it in place in an accident. I have tried to find tether straps online, but have been unsuccessful.(related vehicle information: model year=2003, make=honda, model=odyssey).
A one car wreck occurred with a 4 yr old in a proper child restraint in bartlett, tn. The car flipped and landed on the passenger side.my complaint is the fact that there was a graco booster seat for a lager child of 6 in the car that was not in use. Because there is no way to strap this down securely to the car the booster seat then became a projectile object and hit the 4 yr old. There was blood on the back of the booster seat and the pad and in the cup holders. A better design is needed to keep these necessary objects that are not in use from being an additional cause of trauma during an accident. I think it is in the best interest of the car seat companies and the families who use these products on a daily basis to address this issue with the up-most importance. The safety of millions of people children and adults is at risk.model 8491bemname turboboosterserial jj0426060839221manufacturedin 042606graco children's products, inc....updated 09/29/11driver lost control of the vehicle and ran off the right side of the road, striking a landscaping rock wall, followed by a landscaping boulder causing the vehicle to overturn and land on the passenger side.

The contact owns a graco turbo booster child car seat, manufacturer in january 9, 2012. The contact stated that the booster seat was faulty and failed to restraint the child properly.also, the contact mentioned that the seat fell apart. The contact was unable to reach the manufacturer.
We purchased the seat and used it for a couple weeks before i noticed the problem. Whenever i moved the seat the headrest would be lowered, even if i was careful not to bump the top. After this happened a few times, i noticed it would end up lower even if i hadn't moved the seat (child used the seat, and left the vehicle. When child returned to seat, headrest was lower). I also discovered that if i pushed on the top of the headrest, it would click down, even without pushing the red button that allows it to click down. I called graco and they sent a replacement head piece. After a couple weeks, the same problems happened again. I called graco again and they sent a replacement back and head piece. Another couple week of using the seat and again the headrest is not working properly. I contacted graco and asked for a refund of the money. They will send a refund and i will return the seat to them.

In addition, the safety seat would recline erroneously when being used in the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the child seat was not included in any recalls. The child seat was not taken for inspection by a safety seat technician.
The back of the booster does not stay in position. If the back is raised to a position other than the lowest position it slips back into the lowest position with very little pressure applied to the top. It should remain locked unless the adjuster is squeezed.

The contact owns a graco turbobooster booster seat, model number 849-12ny.the seat was manufactured on october 13, 2007.when the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the booster seat as well as the child move forward.at a sudden stop, the child would be thrown forward, which could potentially cause whiplash.the contact noticed a recall disclosed from a news source; however, the manufacturer stated that there were no failures with the seat.the purchase date and failure type were unknown.
The adjustable seat height moves down to the lowest position when not in use. If the parent putting the child in doesn't notice and adjust every time, the belt would be too low, come from behind their shoulder, and not work as intended.

I have tried to find tether straps online, but have been unsuccessful.(related vehicle information: model year=2003, make=honda, model=odyssey).
