2002 BRITAX E9002 (ROUNDABOUT) Child Seat Problems

CAR SEAT BASE CRACKED WITHOUT INCIDENT. NOTHING IN PARTICULAR HAPPENED, I JUST NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT CRACK.

CALLED BRITAX FOR INFORMATION ON A SEAT FROM 2002, THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO RECALLS AS THE SEAT WAS EXPIRED. A LOT OF PEOPLE USE EXPIRED SEATS DUE TO FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. IF THIS SEAT HAS AN ISSUE THAT COULD BE CORRECTED, A CHILD WOULD BE SAFER WITH THIS SEAT THAN NO SEAT AT ALL! *TR

STRAP RUBS CHILD'S NECK, THEY ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. *JB

BRITAX ROUNDABOUT GETS STUCK IN RECLINE POSITION. IT TAKES A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF FORCE TO FREE IT FROM THE RECLINE POSITION, AND EVEN THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. *NM

CONSUMER TOOK CHILD SEAT TO A CHECKPOINT. THE FORWARD FACING CHILD HAD A LOCK OFF THAT FAILED TO RETAIN THE SHOULDER BELT. IT WOULD NOT HOLD SECURELY, AND WOULD LOOSEN EVERY TIME AFTER SEVERAL TRIES.
