Has anyone every had a chest clip bend on them? I'll get pictures later (and contact Britax). It was fine when we got home yesterday around 1:00, this morning when we were heading to school DD was buckling in and one of the chest clip pieces was bent. The only thing I can think of is that it was at a weird angle when she put it behind the armrest when she got out. It wasn't even warm out yesterday (50's and raining).

OK, here are some pictures. It has flattened out quite a bit already, still has some bend to it though.

The way it looks now I think I'll keep using it as is unless the overwhelming response is to replace it. The way it was bent earlier it was enough to look very uncomfortable, but if it's flattened out that much in 3 hours (and since the chest clip is a pre-crash positioner) I feel better about it.

Anyone have any thoughts? We went out tonight and it's completely straight on one side, a barely noticeable bend on the other side. No stress marks that I can see. Strange :confused:

I am no expert but I am neurotic when it comes to car seats and would order a new one. :)
