Harness adjustment on Britax Marathon 70 Convertible Car Seat: Can anyone tell me how the harness straps are re-adjusted for this carseat.

Hi Carrie, I measured the backseat of my outback. It measures approx 50 inches across. I hope this helps with determining if the marathon will be too big for your forester. The marathon fits great in my outback. I'm 5'4" and my hubby is average height and we don't have a problem with not being able to sit comfortably in the front. Good luck!

When you say seat belt, I'm assuming you're referring to the harness straps that secure the child in the seat. On the back of the carseat, you will find two black levers with straps secured through them. Hold down the two levers with one hand and then pull the harness straps on the front of the seat to loosen the belt. To tighten the belt, just pull the strap hanging from the back of the black levers.If you're looking to adjust the height of the shoulder straps, you're going to have to rethread the strap through a higher or lower slot.Go to 3:13 in this video to see:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9pi6x90lLU When you say seat belt, I'm assuming you're referring to the harness straps that secure the child in the seat.

The straps are adjustable, they loop over the headrests. There is a slide with which one can adjust the length. My car has thick headrests and there is a lost of extra room to expand. The hammock seems well made, I am very happy with it. I have a 29 pound dog in a Honda CRV.

As per Britax, aftermarket products should not be used with their carseats unless Britax themselves manufactured the item due to the risk of it causing injury to the child in the unlikely event of an accident. That being said, my son had torticollis and we needed something to prop his neck to the loose side as per his physical therapist. We separated this cradler, using one side, to keep his head straight. We have a Britax Marathon.

That's how I use mine. The britax adapters with the britax chaperone seat don't quite fit easily with the baby seat in the upper/rear facing and toddler/lower/forward facing position. If you pull the front seat forward just a bit as you're setting the infant carrier in place, you can make it click into place securely.

I had the same problem. After looking through car seat installation guides online, I figured out that for forward facing seats such as this one, the straps for the harness needs to be threaded through AT or ABOVE the child's shoulder. Mine was set a little below, because that's the way we used to do it for the rear facing seats. Once I fixed that (it's now just a tad above my son's shoulder), I have no more problems tightening the harness. If in doubt, contact Britax as they steered me toward the right direction.

There is a latch in the front that you pull and push back on the top. At some point you will also need to know how to adjust the straps and there are great directions on the side of the car seat. Hope this helped. I had to go back to the store to have them show me how to decline it.

There are 3 height adjustments on this seat and the top settings look like the straps go over the top of the car seat but they do not. This is just like all 3 point harness car seats.

On the back of the seat, under the "mommy pouch", you will find two straps threaded through a plastic cinch. Tightening & loosening the straps raise & lower the seat. Google BOB Motion demos and watch the videos. I think Baby Gizmo has a good one that shows you how to adjust the seat. Hope this helps:)

No they adjust in the back. However it is super easy and if you need to move straps it's easy as well. It is definatly a user friendly an secure carseat. I hope that helps.

I have the City Jogger "Elite" and I got the infant car seat adapter bar. It never "clicked" for me on the adapter so I never felt too comfortable using it so I only used it once or twice with the strap that was on the adapter. With that said, I read and looked at YouTube videos and it seemed to work for them, but not for me. However, I loved the car seat especially with the snap and go stroller. I felt it was more convenient to use the strap and go stroller anyway.However, I come from a tall family and my little one is tall so in some ways I wish I would have gotten a car seat that went up to 35 inches because my girl grew out of it by 8 months. So many opinions and things to think about but it will all come together! Good luck!

Hello Patrick,You should be able to adjust the straps as tight as you want, you can feed the loops twice if it is not tight enough. The loops are large enough to have you feed the straps twice if needed. Please let us know if you have any questions.

The car seats were purchased for our granddaughters. The were installed on their fathers auto. I know the four year old does buckle up and unbuckle the seat by herself. Don't know about the adjustability, but we were given specs by their dad and I am sure he would be aware of the adjustability. Hope this helps.

There's two strapes both end up behind headrest. They are both adjustable. I got instruction to but I'm a duh when it comes to them.
