Vent FPSVB

On Wednesday I bought 4 FPSVB for his car; Friday they arrived and I thought WOOO HOO!!! I was bummed though that the DOM on 3 of them were Jan 06 while 1 was Sept 07. Anyhow, yesterday we sat down and attempted to put them all together. The one is broke. It doesn't snap in and the back of the seat doesn't stay upright. It falls right back down. None of the other 3 do this. So now I'm kind of bummed I'll have to call them on Monday and try to get this straightened out. It also makes me wonder if any others are out there where people might have bought one and don't have anything to compare to and think it's normal? I know it did raise my eyebrows as soon as it happened but others might not think they got a defective seat from the store. KWIM?

Just to clarify...it didn't snap into place in the back at all? Mine snapped into place (how the manual described it should), but the back does still fall backwards. That happens on lots of hbbs that become backless, though, and is pretty normal for the FPSVB, from what I've read.

Nope it didn't snap in at all..the other 3 that I got they lean back but the backs do stop and not completely fall to the floor like the 4th does. :shrug-shoulders:

I would be really mad that 3 of them are just about 3 years old. I hope they were dirt cheap.

Yeah I was disappointed about that too, but I knew they were seats that were no longer made. I heard they were fall 07 dates. I was hoping for all Sept 07 dates when I opened the 1st one and seen it was Sept 07. :shrug-shoulders: I got them for $40 which is like 1/2 price.

My Albee Baby FPSVB has a July 2006 DOM. :shrug-shoulders: I wasn't upset, I knew it would be older because they are discontinued and half price. I would be upset about the backrest not snapping into place, though. I hope they are nice about it when you call!
