“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. …”
