1993 Chevrolet Suburban Other or unknown Problems

“While towing my 25 foot camping trailer behind my Chevrolet Suburban, the receiver hitch (manufactured by drawtite) broke away causing my trailer to run off the road, across a grassy area, coming to rest only after hitting a vdot fence , fence pole and a tree.

“I have an evenflo car seat and the plastic clip that goes across the straps and slides up across the chest can be undone by the child thus allowing the child to climb out of the seat. This same clip is used on most brands of car seats and when I contacted evenflo about this problem they told me that they had recieved many complants about this but offered no solution. What good are car seats if a child can get out of them? Please look into this matter. Thank you.”
