MY SON RECENTLY GRADUATED TO A BOOSTER SEAT. I PURCHASED COSCO TRAVELER HIGH BACK BOOSTER. MY SON FITS ALL OF THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS BOOSTER SEAT. I INSTALLED IT PROPERLY. MY SON WAS IN THE BOOSTER SEAT. AS I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAY MY SON DROPPED HIS BOOK ON THE FLOOR. HE LEANED FORWARD TO PICK IT UP FROM THE FLOOR AND THE ARM OF THE BOOSTER SEAT CAUSED THE SEAT BELT BUTTON ON THE LATCH TO DEPRESS, WHICH THUS UNBUCKLED THE SEAT BELT AND CAUSED MY SON TO FALL OUT OF HIS SEAT WHILE REACHING FOR HIS BOOT. THE SEAT BELT UNBUCKLES EVERY SINGLE TIME MY SON LEANS FORWARD AT ALL DUE TO THE "ARM" OF THE BOOSTER SEAT. IT IS MY OPINION THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE FORCE OF HIS BODY WEIGHT AGAINST THE SEAT BELT WOULD CAUSE THE SEAT BELT TO UNBUCKLE. THUS THE RESTRAINT WOULD NOT BE RESTRAINING HIM. *NM

I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT I HAVE IDENTIFIED WITH MOST OF THE FAILURE PROBLEMS THAT ARE LISTED ON THE COMPLAINT PAGE. THE RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT HAS FAILED, IT WILL NOT PULLOUT OR RETRACT, AND NO ONE CAUSE THIS PROBLEM, IT IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE SAET BELT. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT FUEL ODOR IN THE VAN FROM TIME TO TIME, NO PARTICULAR TIME NOTED. THE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND UNLOCK PROPERLY, AND IT WILL LOCK BY ITSELF AND STICK, ALSO IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE OPEN POSITION CONSISTANTLY.MY BRAKE PADS ARE GOING OUT, IT MAY JUST BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THEY SEEMED TO GO OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN. IN GENERAL IT MAKES ALL KINDS OF WHISTLING, GRINDING AND BUMPING NOISES WHEN DRIVING.*AK
