Seat belts are not working properly, left/ right and rear passengers' seat belts do not work properly. Ccs will tilt over because the belts won't retract correctly. This is dangerous because the seat doesn't stay in place.

There is a travel stop button on the seatbelt that keeps the belt from returning too far into the retraction/locking system. This button keeps the belt from being able to be adjusted to fit a small child by about 4 inches. Both my children are approximately 40 lbs.. the seatbelt at its smallest allowable adjustment is too big. This problem prevents the seatbelt from being worm as per guidlines and is in my opinion a severe safety shortcoming. Anyone having children out of child seat age has children susceptible to injuries involving even quick stops.
