I WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH MY 7 MONTH-OLD SON. WE HAD AN EVENFLO EMBRACE 5 CAR SEAT, UPON IMPACT THIS INFANT CARRIER CAR SEAT THAT MY SON WAS SITTING IN BROKE FREE FROM ITS BASE. LUCKILY, MY SON WAS NOT INJURED, BUT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY, HORRIFYING FOR ME TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT AND NOT SEE THE CAR SEAT WHERE IT SHOULD BE, AND I SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY SON. *THE FIRE DEPT SAID MY BASE WAS PERFECTLY INSTALLED UPON INVESTIGATION AT THE ACCIDENT - I WAS DRIVING A 2006 FORD FREESTYLE WITH LATCH SYSTEM AND SIDE AIRBAGS. MODEL NUMBER 5982076P1 - JULY 18, 2005. *JB

**MODEL# 317157P1* EVENFLO EMBRACE ** THIS IS MY SECOND CAR SEAT (SAME MODEL NUMBER) THAT HAS MALFUNCTIONED THE EXACT SAME WAY. THIS IS ALSO MY SECOND COMPLAINT! THE FIRST CAR SEAT WAS REPLACED BY EVENFLO WITH THE SAME EXACT TYPE OF CAR SEAT. THE HANDLE ON THE INFANT CARRIER WEARS OUT QUICKLY. THERE ARE "PINS" THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE HANDLE FROM SLIPING OUT OF THE LOCKED POSITION. THESE "PINS" POP OUT OF THE HOLES THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO LOCK INTO AND IT CAUSES THE HANDLE TO MOVE AND THE INFANT SEAT TO FALL/SLIP FORWARDEVEN IF MY BABY IS NOT IN THE SEAT. *NM
