GEN 3 SEAT BELT BUCKLE. I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THIS SEAT BELT BUCKLE. IF THIS BUCKLE IS SO SAFE WHY DID THEY STOP PUTTING IT IN THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE? CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK AND CAN EASILY UNHOOK THEM SELVES AND CAUSING A HAZARD. AREN'T WE SUPPOSE TO DO ALL WE CAN TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE. I PRIDE MY SELF ON HOW TIGHT I PUT MY CAR SEATS IN AND KNOW I FIND OUT THE BUCKLE USE TO SECURE THE SEATS AREN'T SAFE ENOUGH TO KEEP IN THE FRONT. MY SON CAN BARELY REACH THE BUCKLE WHILE HE IS IN HIS BOOSTER AND UNHOOKED HIMSELF VERY EASY. MY SON HAS A HARD TIME USUALLY WITH THINGS THAT HE HAS TO PUSH IN. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS ABOUT MY DURANGO I WOULDN'T HAVE WASTED $34,000 ON A VEHICLE THAT WON'T KEEP MY CHILD SAFE. WHAT CAN I DO TO REPLACE THESE BUCKLES? PLEASE HELP! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO TRADE MY CAR IN OVER A SEAT BELT BUCKLE. *NLM
