problem #1

Compass 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Child in the back seat in a car seat that was held with safety seat belt. He is 3, about 30 pounds. He unlatched the seat belt but had put it around himself where he still looked intact. When we stopped and went to get him out, he was unable to get out as the seat belt was retracting and getting so tight around him he was getting squeezed in half. We tried to pull the seat belt to release it but it wouldn't release. We had to cut the seat belt. He is fine now but could have been disastrous. I am concerned about this. He is scared of the seat belt now which could be a good thing.
