I remember a youtube video about this when I first started looking into car seat info. It was something like "Elmo is not safe!"

Ah here it is, posted Feb. of last year

I haven't read all of that thread about the video I posted yet, but now I'm pretty freaked out. Some people were mentioning that this could happen with any Dorel seat since they all use the same adjusters. I JUST bought 2 CAs and now I will be really paranoid that they are going to break. Is there any chance of that, or is it a thing where it is *only* on certain Dorel models?
