Is anyone else having any issues with the FN90 seat cover coming off?

When my son slides out of this seat, the seat cover comes off. I have to open the click tight and reattach the seat cover and then close the click tight. Maybe I'm not attaching it back in the correct spot, but I checked the manual and I cannot even see where else it could attach.

Frustrating because we all love this seat!

Thanks!!!

I haven't had any issues. If you call britax they might send out a replacement.

we have a frontier (80 it think) that my Older DD uses in booster mode now, but web she slides out of her seat she pulls the cover off a lot. it's on the front underside that it comes unhooked. had the same issue when she used it in harness mode. annoying, but I never really thought it was an issue. sometimes I reattach it and other times I leave it. perhaps I will call britax too!

The 90's are made diff and the OP seems to have a problem with the middle part of bottom of the seat not the front.
My 85 did what your 80 does and that's just a britax thing with how it hooks on.

Thanks. I guess I will contact Britax. The front part comes off also, but that is a quicker fix.

Haven't had any trouble with our 90 cover. It's definitely more secure than our 85. I'd call because it sounds like either it's on incorrectly or defective, especially given how new it is. I've had to call twice recently and got amazing service! Good luck!

My son has gotten the front part to disconnect about 3 times so far. Easy fix and I guess why it's easy to come off. Any sliding that it does towards the front when he's climbing up makes it disconnect. I don't really have an issue with that. I do, however, hate how noisy that seat is. It rattles like crazy when unoccupied.

Mine is doing this :/ I have the CT ( Canadian version of the 90) & my seat cover won't stay put .... It's like when the click tight closes it doesn't catch the little but of fabric to hold it in place. The elastic doesn't stay attached either!

It was fine for the 1st 3 weeks & it's been a constant issue since.

I'm going to call Britax tomorrow because I'm having issues with my click tight sticking anyways

The part that is by the click tight has little clips that hook on to the plastic.

No I know, it still slides out all the time :/ my clips aren't broken & don't appear to be damaged at all

I've only used mine a couple of times and the cover came off in the front both times. Maybe I'd be more annoyed if the seat was seeing regular use.

I have the same problem. I'm opening the click tight to reattach the cover every 2-3 days. I do find it annoying, but compared to the rattle and rod problems others are having I figured I would just live with it because it could be worse. If you do call britax please post an update with their response.
