Britax latch strap loosening

My friend has a Marathon65 installed FF in a captain's chair in her Honda Odyssey. She mentioned that it seemed the latch strap had some slack in it and that she had tightened it up last week. I checked and there was definite slack in the strap and the seat had more than 1 inch of movement at the belt path. We reinstalled with the seatbelt and she's calling Britax today. Has anyone else had this problem?

Her install was tight previously and her child has not touched or kicked the latch straps.

That stinks! I hope they get it fixed soon! I have an issue with the top tether on my advocate 70 CS. It loosens up on it's own.

Bummer! I have 2 MAs and I've never had an issue with the LATCH straps on either. I've always had good experience with Britax Customer Service, though, so I hope they help her out.

the only thing i can think of is that the tabs you push down to loosen the straps are still open so they loosen over time. I would double check that and see what Britax says.
