“I'm inquiring about a safety issue with my 1993 Dodge Caravan. I have four-year-old twin boys (one with down syndrome), and I am concerned about the integrated child seats. In a recent side collision, the harness clips of both the integrated child seats popped open with the children in them. They were not harmed because the collision was at a very low speed. I have since discovered that these clips can be easily pulled open. In fact, both of my twins can themselves pull these clips open.”
