When removing my 4 day old infant (in her brand new car seat), I noticed the seat belt was very loose. I securely fastened her in before leaving to visit family for Easter. When I lifted the car seat, the seat belt buckle was laying in the base. The strap securing the seat buckle detached and came free. My daughter was not securely fastened while I was driving my vehicle!!!!
