SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
I WAS USING THE CINCHING LATCH PLATE TO KEEP MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT TIGHTENED. FORTUNATELY, THE DAY IT BROKE WE WERE LOOKING AT CARS. WE TRADED IN OUR SUNFIRE THAT DAY. I AM TERRIFIED TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD WE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT! I HAD RE-INSTALLED THE CAR SEAT, TIGHTENED IT, AND WIGGLED THE SEAT ONCE TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SECURE. I HEARD A POP AND THE SEAT MOVED A FOOT. MY FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT IT WASN'T AS BIG OF A DEAL TO ME--IT WASN'T HOLDING A CAR SEAT SECURE! NLM
