My three year old son can pull the seat belt from his body while he is sitting in his booster seat. The seat belt will not lock and thus there is no way to keep him in the seat if he wants to get out. Our van and other cars have locking seat belts which make it impossible for him to pull the belt away from his body. We have used other car seats with a harness but he is getting too big to use that type of seat any more.

Every three months I ended up replacing brake pads and rotors on my 2001 grand am. Then one morning I was going to work traveling at the speed of around 60 MPH when the car started to drift left uncontrollably. I ended up jerking the wheel to avoid a head-on collision, which resulted in a end to end roll over crash. At which time the part of the seat belt that you buckle in to broke causing me to become unbuckled and thrown to the back seat of the car.
