20130201CHILD SEAT
INSTALLED MY DAUGHTER'S SEAT WITH LATCH, MY SON RODE IN IT ONCE BEFORE SHE WAS BORN (HE HAD BEEN SICK AND LOST ENOUGH WEIGHT THAT HE WAS UNDER THE WEIGHT LIMIT SO I LET HIM WHEN HE ASKED), AND THE LATCH CAME UNDONE!! I THEN REINSTALLED IT USING THE SEAT BELT, GOOD TIGHT INSTALL. BROUGHT HER HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL, NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT. AS SOON AS SHE GOT BIG ENOUGH TO CLICK THE HARNESS UP ONE, THE HARNESS WAS NOT TIGHTENING EASILY AND IT WAS LOOSENING ITSELF. I WOULD RETIGHTEN AND THEN ONE SIDE WOULD BE TOO TIGHT AND THE OTHER TOO LOOSE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT TIGHTENING EVENLY AND THEN WOULD LOOSEN UP AGAIN. ALSO THE HEADREST RATTLES WHEN BROUGHT ABOVE THE 3RD POSITION. I HAVE CONTACTED GRACO AS I KNOW THIS HARNESS ISSUE IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY WITH THE SIZE4ME70/MYSIZE70 AND HAVE HAD RETURNS AND REPLACEMENTS MADE. I WILL BE RECEIVING A REPLACEMENT WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND PLAN TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2014, MAKE=STRATUS, MODEL=DOD
