EVENFLO LITEMAX

Chest Clip, Buckle, Harness

The straps for the harness keep coming off the splitter plate when I go to tighten the straps. I’ve double checked that they’re secured to the splitter plate before tightening and they still come off as I’m tightening. I reported two incidents to the manufacturer and they’ve nothing to investigate and chalked it up to user error but I’m doing everything they said to do to prevent it and short of getting a bigger splitter plate there’s nothing I can do on my end to prevent this happening

Carry Handle, Shell, Base

I tested this car seat as a part of the Stellar Product testing panel. I installed the car seat according to the requirements and got all green indicators. However when I put the car seat in the base, the baby was almost completely upright and after a short period in the car, I found her head slumped forward on her chest. This happened a second time on the short drive home and I uninstalled the car seat and did not use it again. I described the incident in my review. When I read other reviews, several other people reported the same issue. My baby is too young to have head control and this car seat is inappropriately reclined for an infant seat. The older models of this seat are clearly much more appropriately reclined. These need to be investigated before someone’s baby is hurt or suffocates. The seat is Evenflo LITEMAX NXT with sensory soothe and sensor safe.

CHILD SEAT:HANDLE (INFANT)

This issues is regarding the front of the canopy. The base of the canopy clip, where it attaches to the car seat nearest the handle, has broken off pieces. These pieces have flow into the car seat where my child sits. It I had not noticed this happening, my child could have tried to put that piece in their mouth and choked or because for the sharp edges on the splintered piece, cause more serious damage. This breakage is on both end of the canopy clip. In addition, the piece that the clip is supposed to attach to has become warped from repeated use.
