| 2011 | CHILD SEAT | UPON PICKING UP MY CHILD FROM DAYCARE TODAY, I INSPECTED HER CARSEAT. I FOUND THE "SUPERLATCH" LATCH STRAP WAS VISIBLY LOOSE. I CHECKED FOR MOVEMENT AT THE BELT PATH AND FOUND APPROX 2" OF MOVEMENT. I IMMEDIATELY TIGHTENED IT DOWN AND CHECKED FOR MOVEMENT AGAIN. THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT. I PUT MY CHILD IN HER SEAT AND ADJUSTED THE HARNESS. I THEN PUT MY OTHER CHILD IN HIS CARSEAT. AFTERWARDS, I CHECKED THE BELTPATH OF MY DAUGHTER'S RADIAN XTSL AGAIN. BY THIS POINT THERE WAS ABT 0.5" MOVEMENT (STILL AN ACCEPTABLE INSTALL, BUT LOOSER THAN IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES EARLIER). I TIGHTENED IT DOWN AGAIN AND DROVE MY CHILDREN HOME (ABT 4 MILES OR 10 MINUTES). UPON ARRIVING HOME, I NOTICED THAT THE SL LATCH STRAP WAS VISIBLY LOOSE AGAIN. WHEN I CHECKED IT AT THE BELT PATH, THERE WAS ABT 1.5" MOVEMENT (MORE THAN THE 1" OF AN "ACCEPTABLE" INSTALL). SINCE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE LOOSENING, NOR HOW TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING, I HAVE REINSTALLED THE CARSEAT USING MY VEHICLE'S SEATBELT. I WILL NOT RISK MY CHILD'S LIFE BY USING THE SEAT IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. THE CARSEAT IS A SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XTSL, MODEL NUMBER US 19500 (NOT AVAILABLE AS A CHOICE ON THE NEXT PAGE OF THIS FORM) AND WAS MANUFACTURED IN 10/09. IT IS INSTALLED REAR-FACING, PASSENGER OUTBOARD, IN A 2011 VW JETTA SPORTWAGEN. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2011, MAKE=VOLKSWAGEN, MODEL=JETTA SPORTWAGEN). *TR |
