I was in a very low-speed (parking lot) crash ~2 weeks ago (not my fault, yay!). I had Charlie in a Recaro Start and Sammy in a Graco Nautilus with the old buckle. I'm so depressed to lose my old buckle, I'll never buy another graco seat until they fix their buckle. Alas.
The belts didn't even lock, it was really very minor. But holy heck on the massive movement of the GN. That LATCH belt FAILED, no other way to put it. Kid was 37 pounds, installed like a rock beforehand, now I can lift the seat up off the seat and shove the kid underneath it. It didn't stretch, it just totally released.
This is a FB album that I made public, take a gander. I'm posting it here mainly for curious ogling. Graco wants the seat back, stated they'd even refund the purchase price (and I bought the thing 4 years ago, so I think that's more than generous). They've been extremely proactive and concerned, so I'm not ragging on Graco AT ALL, nor am I dishing the GN (except the new buckle).
Anywho, take a peek!

Sorry for the massive pictures... they came from my phone, through FB, and I have no clue how to resize them from a FB album.
