Problem with century ovation car seat.my 2 year old son pulled the t-bar shield out of the buckle area 2 times.it was properly secured.we took the car seat out and tried it ourselves.without much effort at all, we were able to pull it out 7 out of 10 tries.it seemed to unlatch when the t bar was pushed slightly in one direction or another.if my 2 year old was able to pull it out, i am convinced this is not a safe seat.manufacturer has requested i send the seat back to them so they can "take a look at it".if you need any other information from me, please e-mail me or call me.thank you,jennifer cannon.
