Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAVE A GRACO SIZE4ME 70 CAR SEAT MANUFACTURED ON 3/29/13. I PURCHASED IT ON 1/25/14 AND DID NOT START USING IT UNTIL JUNE OF 2014. I RECENTLY WENT TO TAKE THE COVER OFF TO WASH IT AND NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE FOAM HEADWINGS WAS BROKEN OFF. I CALLED GRACO AND THEY SAID THAT THE SEAT WAS NOT USABLE IN THAT CONDITION, THAT THE PART WAS NOT REPLACEABLE AND THEY SENT ME A NEW SEAT. KIND OF SCARY THAT A SEAT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO LAST FOR 7 YEARS ONLY LASTED A YEAR BEFORE A PART BROKE OFF THAT IS NOT REPLACEABLE AND RENDERS THE SEAT UNUSABLE.

GRACO CAR SEAT SIZE4ME 65 MODEL NUMBER: 1903755 SERIAL NUMBER: 3/26/2014 SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR SEAT, I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT THE HARNESS DID NOT TIGHTEN EQUALLY AT EACH SHOULDER. I FELT THAT IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE, I HAD TO "RESET" THE HARNESS ONCE A WEEK, BY LOOSENING IT ENTIRELY AND RAISING AND LOWERING THE HEADREST A FEW TIMES BEFORE ADJUSTING IT TO FIT MY CHILD. TODAY I REMOVED THE HARNESS FROM THE PLATES IN THE BACK TO FIND THAT THE STRAPS ARE 2 VERY DIFFERENT LENGTHS. THE SIDE THAT NEVER TIGHTENED CORRECTLY IS SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER THAN THE SIDE THAT DOES TIGHTEN CORRECTLY. *TR
