Are people still experiencing problems tightening the harness straps or has Britax addressed this problem?

Very hard for me to tighten the straps properly. My husband has to do it most times or we stuff our son into the straps.

We have never had this problem. Our seat was purchased in early November 2014. Hope this helps.

The reason I discovered that the harness was not attached properly was because I has a difficut time tightening the harness straps. Once the harness was well attached I had no problem tightening the harness straps

Britax will send you one for free if you have a unit made before 7/17/14. After that date they updated the design to fix the issue with the lap belt positioning.

When you press the release latch, pull outward holding the black clasp at the chest. This is how the owner's manual suggests to loosen. We haven't had any issues, but I noticed from previous comments this was a complaint. It also seemed that Britax provided extensions to some customers.

No I've never had a problem with the buckle. Had mine for about 3+ years and this year purchased a 2nd one and still no issues. I would contact Diono customer service.

Britax marathon 70 I cannot adjust the STRAPS (make looser) on the baby seat. we are no longer able to connect the straps to the red "buckleet" in the center. I have found the latch at the top of the seat--but it only slides the seat up and down. PLEASE HELP!

The straps are very easy to tighten if the seat is not installed. However, after you fasten the seat in the vehicle and the mechanism that snaps down to clamp to the vehicle's seatbelt is in place, then the straps are a little difficult to move. It is easy to make a small adjustment, but for a large adjustment in the strap length it is more difficult. So all that you need to do if you need to make a large adjustment in the strap length is to release the mechanism that clamps to the vehicle seatbelt and then make your adjustment and then put it back and put your child back in the seat to make the final adjustment. This may take 1 or 2 tries when you first install the seat but it is not a big deal. And this seat is so easy to install with the new mechanism that clamps down on the seatbelt that overall it will still save you time and effort to install over a conventional seat, even if you have to unclamp it from the vehicle seatbelt once or twice to make a strap length adjustment.

Sounds like you have an older model if 4 clicks, this is a new design. The new model takes only 2 to secure into the 5 point harness, one left and one right side. The newer harness design is impossible for our little one to undo herself even.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there.But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

Karen. We had the same problem. The manufacturer didn't think that far. We bought some short stretch straps that have S hooks on both ends, hooked one end to a bar under the seat and the other to the barrier. That has worked fine for us.

We have never had that problem. We have put up to 500 lbs on them at one time, had kids bouncing and swinging in the hammock and straps have stayed strong with little to no stretching.

When I was deciding on a car seat, I purchased (and returned) 4 other seats, and this particular problem (being able to reach the seat-belt release) is a deficiency of all the seats I tried that have booster or shoulder belt convertibility. While my son did release it once, I came "unglued" and seem to have sufficiently scared him from ever touching the buckle again. Additionally, I found that if I have the harness tightened appropriately (making sure he only has 2 fingers of space) he can't reach it. The biggest deciding factor for me was that my son was unable to fully free himself once strapped in properly (he was able to loosen the straps on the other brands and unbuckle and then he was out!) The Frontier 90's harness strap release button is to far in for his fingers to reach it.

I don't have a problem with them. If they came apart any easier, they would not be doing the job you purchased the safety harness to do.

We took off the top hooks, un-threaded the whole strap, put the waist clip back on, re-threaded through the little sliding length adjuster. You will have some strap still dangling, because it is long, but it is working for us and way easier to load and unload our twins. They would hate being strapped down! This is on the 2009 version, but I think the straps are the same. Does this make any sense to you?

I just checked the Gogo Babyz site and they said all Britax car seats are comparable BUT...." **For Britax Click Tight car seats you will need to purchase a longer strap here Select model NMTM"I hope that helps

Hello, No sad face! Turn that frown upside down :) . We actually have a new model, the Twin Roo Plus and it will certainly adapt to Britax/Bob B-Safe car seats. Please note that the car seat adapters are sold separately for that item. Thanks!

There is a latch at the top of the seat that you pinch and pull up. Super easy and so much nicer than on my graco where you have to rethread it. Go on the Britax website and you can watch the video! So easy to install and adjust. We bought two for my 10 month old twins. They took a couple minutes to install. Awesome!
