Did your latching system on your carseat/base ever wear out?

My daughter is 8 months old and we have just recently started having problems with our rear facing Baby Trend carseat/base. It still works, but we have to really push it down to get it to click into place. It seems to get more difficult every time we put here in there and I am worried about it eventually being unsafe. Has anyone else had a similar problem?
I don't know about cheapest...our travel system was $250, I thought this was comparable to Graco and other brands.

Answer
Mine is not like that, if you get it in right it clicks right in. Even setting it in easy it still clicks into place. I'm sometimes quite gentle with it if my daughter is asleep so I will try to put it in really easy and it snaps in without even having to push it.

I would call the company and tell them about it. Also maybe take the carseat into babies r us and grab one of the bases off the shelf and see if it does the same thing with it.

Two Pretty in Pink - where are you shopping. Almost all teh travel systems at the babies r us where I live are between $250 and $300 and that is for the Chicco's, graco's, etc. Mine is a bertini which is identical to the eddie bauer and it was $259.00, that is not cheap by any means.

And baby trend is a good brand.

Anyone have recommendations on baby car seats?

We have a nice one but w/out a carrier (spelling?). Where is the best place to get a carrier and a base and do they sell bases separately so we can have one in both of our cars. Also, is it one base size fits all brands or does each car seat company make its' own base.

Thanks!
