I watched the video on Britain website and that helps seems that you need to pull on the straps around the legs to make them snug prior to pulling the long strap.

I have not found the straps to be difficult to tighten. We use this seat for our daughter who is 5 1/2 and 40 lbs in our 2011 Honda Odyssey. We really love the seat.

There is a button at center where the child's legs would be and you can reach thru and feel a ledge and a latch you can release the shoulder straps. Then the black strap coming from the center once again you will pull to tighten the straps once you get your child in.

There is a button that would be between the child's legs, closer to where their feet would be. You should also see a strap there. The button is metal. As you push down on the button, pull on the strap and it will loosen. Then if you need to tighten the straps, pull on the strap down by the button.

Between your child's legs there is a button where the pull strap comes out. Just above that, push down and pull out on the two chest straps evenly. Note that if you pull on one only it may just loosen the other side. Also it is not advised for your child to wear a snowsuit or jacket of any kind while using this seat. It specifically warns that its safety features work only without extra layers of clothing.

Seat is difficult to lift initially, just keep pulling firmly. We got a manual with ours. Try online and see if you can download one.

I do find that sometimes it is hard to tighten when my son is in the seat. For some reason it seems easier if he isn't in it. If I have it tightened almost to where a need it with only a little slack it isn't too difficult to make minor adjustments once he is in it.

I bought my FP Space Saver High chair approx. 3 years ago. I purchased these straps and they do fit... I had to use pliers to pull the waist straps through the slots as these straps are a bit wider. Also, the shoulder straps on the lowest slot on the high chair and adjusted to the smallest length are still a little loose on my baby. She is 5 mos and about 14lbs. I wouldn't trust the straps to hold her in without the tray at this point, but I know it wont be long and these will fit fine. I contacted Fisher Price and they sell the replacement shoulder straps but not the crotch strap/buckle. Overall I am happy so far with this purchase.

Yup, very simple, I've used both methods. There is a hole next to where the kids thigh would rest on the seat and you can pull the seat belt or latch system belt straight up and away from the buckle to tighten it down instead of out and to the side as you have to do on most seats. I love the design of this car seat. Feels much more secure in any system.

I had this problem at first as well, if you make sure to loosen the straps all the way and give them a firm tug they come out pretty far. Sometimes they get caught up or bound.

in the front were the single strap comes out, remove the cover over the seat. you will see a tension button. push it down and pull on the two straps at the top

I haven't had this problem. My daughter buckles in and if it's too loose we just pull the step straight out towards the front seats and it tightens appropriately.

We bought this swing for our infant son who weighs approx. 10 lbs and the straps on our swing will soon be too tight since there is no room to loosen them any further. I suppose it's possible that we both bought swings with straps that are too short. I plan on contacting the manufacturer to see if they can send new straps.

I just tightened the straps that go around the head rests. They are the ones that you have to wiggle both the straps in the center of the buckle like thingy and loosen the straps as they go through it. Then you move the top strap one way and the bottom one the other way which makes the buckle thingy move more toward the end of the strap and the whole strap is shorter. It is hard to describe but easy to do once you get the hang of it.

I've found if I tighten from the back and then pull the strap no problem but it is impossible to tighten from the strap itself

I have th same issue. This is my only issue tho. I think as long as it doesn't slide around while my babies sit on it then I can live with resetting it. Shy of using duct tape, not sure anything can be done. I think the company should create a tighter or permanent fit.... and recall the loose ones to be exchanged for a better fit at no cost. Because the toddler seat is recessed in the Ltd there is really no reason for it to be removable.

I haven't been able to find a way to do that. I had been wondering the same thing. I had the WHOLE thing torn apart after messy episode in the car, and I couldn't remove the straps.
