MyRide Harness slipping

autumnlily · Mar 29, 2010

I'm going to call Graco - but was curious if anyone has experienced their harness slipping.

Basically, my DH went to tighten the harness and pulled on the straps to check for tightness and it completely loosened. I told him to make sure the harness adjuster metal piece was pushed down and he tried again - this time the harness did not loosen.

In my mind - problem solved. Make sure lever is down. However, it happened to me this morning and when I went to feel the lever, it really felt like it was completely down. But, after pushing on it (and not feeling it move) the harness did catch when I checked again and no longer loosened.

Any other ideas as to what is causing this? Other comments.

I'm trying to replicate the issue with the seat uninstalled and in my house and I cannot. It is working fine in the house.

Still, I'm going to call.

No advice for you, but wanted to ask you to update here when you do figure it out. I hope you get in touch with them soon.

I'll call first thing in the morning and will definitely update.

I think I've heard of the fabric getting stuck in the adjuster. Perhaps keeping the metal piece from fully closing.

Yep, that is what happened to mine and why I could not replicate inside the house. Make sure actually lift that square of fabric and not simply push past it.

So, I called.

As mentioned (thank you ladies) I now think it's the fabric/padding below the harness adjuster. I played with it a little more and I can see how, in my Sienna, the fabric could bunch just enough to be too close to the underneath of the adjuster clasp.

I almost want to cut the hole length wise and remove that portion of the cover - but I won't.

The Graco rep insisted on sending a new cover. Now, I just have to figure how to get the cover off (and back on

)... it is nicely secured on the bottom!

I definitely lift the square (need to make sure DH and parents do so too, than you)... I think it's the fabric below the adjuster that may be getting pushed up under the adjuster.
