Explorer 4WD

My 20-month-old daugher can unlatch the lock on her roundabout convertible car seat (model 161). She has done this several times while riding in the car. Today, she unlatched the lock while sitting in the parked car. She tried to get out of the carseat, but her neck got hung up on the top latch. I immediately unlatched this latch to free her from the car seat. This could have been very dangerous if I had not acted immediately.
