Current Triumph harness question?

Settle this for us - the Triumph shoulder portion of the harness has two straps coming from the same slot. Do you put baby's arm in between them, or put them both over the shoulder?

Anyone have the Evenflo # so I can order a new manual :eek:

I don't know about having 2 straps (i've never used a triumph.)

But I would say that the childs arms should go under both.

Actually it adjusts so much easier the wrong way, I tried it, I loved it! The way the straps work with the adjuster, it's just such a major pain to buckle them in. I love having the knobs on the side though, as opposed to in front. Much easier for RFing. But when worn properly that thing is just more of a pain than other seats. Why does it have two straps anyway?

It looks safer because it seems like there's more side protection. There's one strap over the shoulders, one under the armpits across the upper rib cage, then one over the upper thigh and the crotch strap. So it looks like you have three straps around the body holding it in. The correct way only has two, the shoulder and the upper thigh. KWIM? I can get a pic of the two different ways to show, for those who can't visualize it or don't have a Triumph.

I did not tighten these enough, just enough to keep them in place for pics ;)

I've seen it and it doesn't look safer to me. It has two straps because it's a memory harness. When you take the child out you're supposed to pull the buckle tongues up and it makes the straps longer without loosening the harness. Then when you put them back in you pull the tongues back down and buckle. It's supposed to make it so you don't have to loosen and tighten the harness each time but the straps are long enough to take them out and put them back in easily. Personally I hated that feature and never used it. I thought it was pretty easy to adjust the harness. I put ds in and buckled the harness. Then I pulled the top strap until the bottom one was tight enough and then turned the knobs to tighten the top strap.

Hmm, I'm so not picturing this. I'm gonna try it next time. For me, the whole thing is just so hard to move. The buckles don't slide along the strap. I guess I'm using it wrong. Just my luck they make it so simple any idiot can do it and I can't figure it out :rolleyes:

Have you read the manual? It definitely takes some getting used to when you've been using something else. I don't think they made it simple at all and there are probably alot people who do it the wrong way. I loved the seat once I figured it out but I had to play with it alot to figure out how to use it.

:eek: - yeah, I could never see that as seeming to look safer.
Try to imagine what they would do to him in an accident.:eek: :(

The straps are meant to work together, the way the harness system works on the Triumph, I'm guessing a body sandwiched like that, would be squeezed something fierce.
