My child was tangled in the rear seat belt while the car was parked. Every time we tried to get some extra slack in the seat belt it would continue to get tighter and squeeze her around her waist. The seat belt would not release even after turning the car off the belt continued to stay locked and any slack would be pulled into the chamber to put her in tighter pain. The only way to free her from the car was to cut the seat belt this is clearly a defect in the safety portion of the car.
