You pull up the buckle in the middle underneath the cover that is between the child's legs, and at the same time pull the straps. You have to grab the 'lower' of the two straps. The straps that are on their shoulders are layered. Grab and pull the lower strap.

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.

I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug. At first I had to feel around under the little flap that covers the hole but once I felt where the button is I realized I could push down on it effortlessly for the release of the straps. It will not be something children can reach to push themselves. So tightening is simply pulling the strap between their legs and that is easy. Excess strap tucks under the edge of the seat easily so they can't grab it and tighten it on themselves accidentally. Releasing it is just as easy but you will need to be familiar with the button position. I hope this helps. I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug.

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.

The strap cannot be opened.Throw one end over the limb then pull the other end through the loop to tighten the strap.

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.

I'm not sure exactly how long the straps are, but my daughter is almost 5 and a half...she is about 40 pounds and I haven't had any issues with the straps being too tight. I used this with her last year and didn't have to adjust the straps this year when she used it for the first time. We love this product and highly recommend it!

Really pretty simple. There is a black lever holding the strap in place on each side. It is as easy as pushing down on it to release the hold on the straps.

In between where your child sits there is an orange button with a strap coming out of it, press the button in and pull on the strap. Also check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awNCfb2PC5I

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.

That's a tough one to explain, make sure you give the latches enough give then clip into your seat. Same for the back latch. There is a grey button that you push that will give you more slack for each strap. Once you clip everything in just pull everything tight. I hope that helps. Maybe they have some videos on YouTube to help more.

on the bottom near where babies legs there is a flap , under there is a square button. You push the button and pull on the straps at the same time to adjust.

There is a strap by their feet (you can't see it in photo above) and a button that you hold dsown. While holding the button you pull the strap to tighten the shoulder straps or pull the shoulder straps to loosen to them. It's easy.

It's kind of tricky. Relax and don't force it. Push one of the bottom leg bars first. I thought it was a pain at first, too.

There is a tab at the end of each section that slides through a slot in the high hair. Then the tab opens up so that the strap stays in place. It's just like the tabs on the fisher price jumperoo. Hope this helps.

Right, I've had that problem too. I think it has something to do with the smaller straps that hold those gray chest pads (forget what Britax calls them - HUGS pads?). I just pull the strap release (accessed through a slit in the seat cover near where the lower strap comes out between the child's legs), grasp the black clip that holds the 2 shoulder straps together across the child's chest, and pull that clip upwards until it moves no further. That's usually enough slack in our case to get our kid out easily. It does seem to run up against those little HUGS pad straps though.

With the convertible seat, I didn't find it necessary to loosen the straps every time I took the baby out. Try getting the babe out without loosening it and see of you really need to loosen them every time which will make it easier in the long run.

I've had mine about a year now, I just simply pull the velcro straps tighter, the upper and the one close to the knee, is most important. Not to tight
