OUR HONDA ACCORD 2000 SE WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A PICKUP TRUCK. THE CAR WAS TOTALED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE HOW OUR SON WAS INJURED. OUR SON WAS IN A CENTURY 44164ELM CAR SEAT SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER (MY WIFE). THE METAL BUCKLE THAT IS USED TO ADJUST THE SEAT BELT SIZE (IN THE BACK) SHEARED FROM THE PLASTIC DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT. AS A RESULT THE UPPER PART OF OUR SON'S BODY BECAME A PROJECTILE AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT KEEP HIM IN THE CAR SEAT. OUR SON'S HEAD LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE SEAT REST IN FRONT HIM. DUE TO THE IMPACT HE SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE, AND FORTUNATELY EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW. I HAVE THE CAR SEAT SAVED IF CENTURY WANTS TO SEE IT. IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE THIS IS UNSAFE. IT IS NOT ON CENTURY'S RECALL LIST IT SEEMS. *JB
