LUCKILY, MY SON WAS NOT INJURED, BUT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY, HORRIFYING FOR ME TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT AND NOT SEE THE CAR SEAT WHERE IT SHOULD BE, AND I SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY SON. *THE FIRE DEPT SAID MY BASE WAS PERFECTLY INSTALLED UPON INVESTIGATION AT THE ACCIDENT - I WAS DRIVING A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE WITH LATCH SYSTEM AND SIDE AIRBAGS. MODEL NUMBER 5982076P1 - JULY 18, 2005. *JB
