WE HAVE A RADIAN XTSL CHILD SAFETY SEAT FOR OUR CHILD. IT IS INSTALLED IN THE SECOND ROW CAPTAIN'S CHAIR OF OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE SEAT IS TIGHTENED APPROPRIATELY AND INSTALLED CORRECTLY. THE LATCH BELT LOOSENS ITSELF IN DAILY USE. WE HAVE NOTICED IT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES AND NOW CHECK IT ROUTINELY. IT ALWAYS LOOSENS. TODAY I REMOVED THE THE LATCH STRAP AND INSTALLED WITH THE SEATBELT. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=ODYSSEY). *TR
SEAT INSTALLED REARFACING WITH SUPER LATCH LOOSENED EXCESSIVELY AND DRAMATICALLY WHEN PUSHED/PULLED. INITIALLY THERE WAS NO SLACK OVER VERY LITTLE SLACK, AND IT BECAME INCHES OF SLACK AS THE ENTIRE SEAT ROCKED BACK AND FORTH. HAD THE CHILD IN THE SEAT NOT BEEN BELTED IN, HE COULD HAVE EASILY FALLEN OUT OF THE CAR. THE SEAT WAS RETIGHTENED AND THE SAME PROCESS WAS EASILY REPEATED. THE SEAT WAS REINSTALLED FORWARD-FACING, DIMINISHING THE PROTECTION OFFERED TO THE CHILD (REARFACING IS 5X SAFER), SO THAT THE CHILD COULD BE SAFELY TRANSPORTED HOME. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=ODYSSEY). *TR
"SUPER LATCH" STRAP LOOSENS REPEATEDLY WITH NORMAL USE, LEAVING THE SEAT POORLY INSTALLED DESPITE INITIAL INSTALLATION BY EXPERIENCED, FORMERLY-CERTIFIED CPS TECH, THAT LEFT IT ROCK-SOLID. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=ODYSSEY). *TR
