View Full Version : Tightening MyRide harness

I am having an awful time getting the harness tight enough on DD's MR. Has been like this since the day we got it and now two weeks later.

I brought it in last night to see if anything was catching. She is on the middle slots and so also the middle section for the strap attachment to the splitter plate. I am wondering if it matters what side the "tails" of the straps hang. In the pic in the manual, they are hanging away from the seat. I am thinking this may be what is causing my problem. I think they could be getting caught on the harness cover in the back when I am pulling it tight. It will go ok at first, but then as it gets to her, it won't go any more. I am not sure if it would be ok to have the tails on the other side? Anyone know?

Also, the left will get tighter than the right. Any ideas on that?


Thanks so much!

try pull, release, pull, release.

Have tried that, but after a certain point it just doesn't do any thing and there is still room to get my hand in with her.

Tighten it as much as you can then take her out without loosening and turn the seat over to see what is going on. Maybe the splitter plate is catching on something right at that point, or maybe it is as tight as it can go on that setting and you need to go back to the tightest setting on the splitter plate. Also make sure you went through the same slots in the shell as you did in the cover.

I like that idea and will try it.


As far as not getting tighter on that setting... It says to have the straps on the smallest setting for the lowest slots, the middle setting for slots 2 and 3, and the last for 4 and 5. So, since she is on the 3rd, with the middle, that should not be it(not saying it isn't, but shouldn't be.)

I did make sure I was through all the same slots, sothat isn't it either...

Thanks.
