Ok, so I finally got to fully inspect my super good deal xtsl yesterday and here are my "issues"…..
1) the seat itself has dom 10/10 and the harness straps are dom 8/10 but the latch straps are also dated 10/10. I have never seen a seat that dated every piece individually. Is this normal and do I just follow the earliest date since they are what holds the child in the seat? I know it's only a few months difference but thought it was weird.
2) I adjusted everything to fit ds and then went to move the headwings down to above his shoulders since he is on the 3rd slot. They didn't move particularly easy but neither did the one in the store I played with so I didn't think much of it and still tried to be very careful. After adjusted, the cover looked all bunched up between the wings so I was looking around and noticed the cover wasn't attached completely on one side under the wing (I did have extreme difficulty getting it to fit right-maybe this is normal as well?). In my attempts to velcro it together properly I looked inside and noticed a piece of foam was partially detached. I don't know how to describe this well so bear with me…..Right underneath the headwing on what would be the back of the seat there is a square-ish piece of foam that fits inside the rest of the foam right under/beside the wing. It had glue all around the edges but was not completely "fit" inside its spot and upon touching it came out completely. The other side is intact. I was able to squeeze it back in but am not totally sure this is ok! I am worried yet not at the same time if this makes sense!
3) the shoulder strap attachment bag was opened, do you think this seat was actually a used/returned seat??
It totally looks like no one had touched it. If ANYTHING, someone tried their kid in it with all the tags attached and decided they didn't like it from what I can tell looking at it. What do you all think? It said no returns
