Hi all,
I'm hoping someone has some insight for me. My son has only recently begun to use the bathroom regularly, and he recently had an "accident" in his carseat (a Britax Blvd Click and Safe from 2009). I removed the cover and washed it, let it air dry, and put it back on. The process seemed pretty straightforward, as did the reinstallation of the carseat in the car.
However, the carseat is no longer performing like it had been. The problem is that we absolutely cannot get it to tighten unless we engage the release (meant to be used to loosen, not tighten, the harness).
It is entirely possible that this problem existed before I washed the cover, as the washing coincided with a change in the weather -- which means that my boys hadn't been wearing coats before, and therefore we weren't adjusting the harnesses at all.
My questions are:
1) Is it dangerous for him to be traveling in a carseat which is currently properly installed and adjusted, but which does not seem to tighten properly?
2) Has anyone run across this problem before? Could it be due to the way I put the cover back on?
All input is welcome!
Thanks!
