MY WIFE WAS BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP AT THE PRESTON-LEGACY LIGHTS. IT WAS NOT A HARD EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT A QUICKER STOP DUE TO TRAFFIC AHEAD. OUR 4 YR OLD WAS RIDING IN THE FRONT FACING CAR SEAT IN THE REAR SEAT (SECOND ROW) PROPERLY ANCHORED WITH THE LAP AND SHOULDER 3 POINT BELT AS WELL AS HIS CARSEAT HARNESSES. HOWEVER, WHEN MY WIFE BRAKED, THE SEAT BELT BECAME UNLATCHED AND THE CAR SEAT FELL BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WITH MY SON STILL ANCHORED. THE SEAT BELT FULLY RETRACTED AT THAT TIME. AS A RESULT OF THE FALL, MY SON RECEIVED TWO DEEP LACERATIONS BEHIND HIS LOWER LIP FROM HIS TEETH. THE DOCTOR ADVISED WATCHING HIM FOR 24HRS FOR SIGNS OF HEAD INJURY. WE WERE INCREDIBLY LUCKY THAT HE ESCAPED WITHOUT SERIOUS INJURY. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN A ACCIDENT SITUATION AND THE AM UNSURE ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE OTHER BELTS IN THIS 1 MONTH OLD VAN. MY WIFE IS SURE ABOUT THE BELT BEING LATCHED CORRECTLY SINCE SHE DRIVES TO WORK WITHOUT THE CHILD IN THE SEAT. ANY BRAKING OR TURNS WOULD HAVE TOPPLED THE SEAT DURING HER COMMUTE SINCE IT IS QUITE LIGHTWEIGHT. WE CALLED THE HONDA MOTOR COMPANY BUT THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE WEEKEND. I WILL BE TAKING THE VAN TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION TOO. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
