Description of the problem	While test driving the vehicle we accelerated the vehicle and heard a yell from my children in the back row "the seat is crushing the baby!". Our 5 month baby was strapped in the middle seat center row and the back part of the seats folded forward dislodging the rear facing car seat and tipping it upward a bit. I had to emergency stop the vehicle in mid traffic, unbuckle and crawl in the back seat to push the seat back off of my baby. This is a safety issue for sure. It is possible that the children in the back row pushed the seat retract button while the vehicle was moving or the seat was not locked back in position after third row onboarding due to mechanical failure or human error. Please investigate before children are injured or killed.
