| Description of the problem | When attempting to move my child's car seat to the 2nd row driver side outboard, the car seat is unable to be installed properly. Our britax marathon car seat cannot be moved from the center position to an outboard position because the head rests on the 2nd row seat tilt forward and cannot be removed. With two children in the car i will be forced to move my older child to a less stable and less safe backless booster seat, so that i can put my second child in the infant seat in the center position. Had i known this at the time of purchase i would not have purchased this vehicle. Jeep has had many complaints but does not offer a solution or seem to care about child safety. Manually removing the head rest by disassembling the seat may leave 8" posts exposed, also not safe for children. |
