Hi all-
Ugh, out of nowhere, one of my back seat belt's ALR is not working. My car is a 2001 Subaru Forrester (no latch :( ). I have a Britax Decathlon on that side. It has a locking clip built in, which is installed and seems to be a very good installation. But I am worried and annoyed about the ALR not functioning. Is this a concern from a carseat safety standpoint, or is the fact that I have the locking clip make it OK? It is also tightly tethered to a tether anchor on the roof of the car.
On a side note, is it normal for a ALR to break after some period of time? Incidentally I had my car in the shop today for work - had new brakes installed. Could that be related?
Thanks!
Lori
