| Description of the problem | 2005 jeep grand cherokee does not allow for proper & safe child seat installation!! The back seat head rest tilt forward impeding the ability for car seats to lay flush against seat. Removal of head rest (which was the only option from jeep) leave 2 large metal bars that children can receive serious injury from in just entering their seats on their own! There is no safe option for child car seat/boosters. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed! This was also not mentioned to us until we brought it to the attention of the jeep dealership in which their reply was they were aware of the issue and nothing could be done. *jb |
