car seat is it still safe to use

[nappyaddict]

a bit of plastic has broken off the catch bit on the front where the two shoulder straps come together and clip into. friend says i can just selotape it cos its only cosmetic and won't alter the safety of the product. what do you think?

So does the catch still erm..... catch so to speak??? If it does then I can't see any problem

i HAD ONE LIKE THIS AND WASN'T A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE. i DID CARRY ON USING IT FOR A WHILE, BUT ONLY REARFACING
.

oop sorry caps lock ds2 is helping me tupe

well not sure if id risk it...

BUT whith these catches the strength of the 'catching' is in the metal that is in the plastic in the cath IUSWIM, so aslong as it is 'catching' and the metal is fine then it would probably be ok i GUESS

I think the plastic stops it getting too hot in the sunshine as well, where as bare metal can be boiling hot if the car has been parked on a summers day
