  "question": "Have any child bike seat buckles had safety problems or recalls?",
  "answer": "Thule Yepp 2 Maxi Rack Mount: Reviewers rate it highly recommended, describing it as a comfortable, adjustable and durable rear seat for toddlers and preschoolers, but flagging the buckle as not suitable for children who might unbuckle themselves. CPSC recall search returned no recall records.\nThule Yepp Maxi 2 / Yepp 2 Maxi: The buckle is labeled childproof, but in testing some strong, determined children managed to unbuckle themselves after watching how it worked; the maker reportedly had no reports of this.\nThule Yepp 2 Maxi: Testers found the 'childproof' buckle could be undone by strong, determined toddlers, though Thule said it had no reports of children unbuckling themselves; the reviewer suggests the magnetic buckle of the Yepp Nexxt 2 Maxi instead for such children.",
