Customer Service Helpline on 01264 386034.
What do I do if the harness buckle does not click when I fasten it?
If you have just fitted the cover or changed the shoulder strap height, check that you have threaded the harness
correctly (see "Harness Adjustment" on page 3). Alternatively, your buckle may need cleaning; see "Removing and
Cleaning the Harness" on page 11.
No child seat is escape proof
Harness systems cannot be designed to be completely "child proof" and yet comply with the legal requirements of
European Standard ECE R44. The harness must be fastened and adjusted correctly at all times and children encouraged
to remain within the harness system.
Second-hand car seats
The Hampshire Trading Standards Authority and Britax advise that child car seats should not be bought or sold second-
hand. Many seats sold through local advertising and car-boot sales have been found to be dangerous. Please dispose of
your child car seat safely.
