Seat Belts
08/12/2001
UPON PLACING MY DAUGHTERS CARSEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSEAT THE SEATBELT FELL COMPLETELY APART. THEREFORE THAT MAKES ME THINK SOMETHING IS FAULTY WITH IT. IF IT CAME APART THAT EASILY FROM ME TRYING TO BUCKLE IN THE CARSEAT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEONE HIT ME. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE KILLED IF THIS HAD HAPPEN IN A COLLISION. I F MY CAR DID THIS HOW MANY OTHERS WILL IT HAPPEN TO AND WILL ANY CHILDREN HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. I ONLY WANT FOR MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE AND THEREFORE I TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY PLACING MY DAUGHTER IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACK SEAT.*AK
