Has anyone else had this experience?
My husband went to tighten the harness on our Marathon (our oldest one, dated 3/05 - but should still be good I think?!) yesterday and it broke off in his hand! It's majorly frayed and looks like that was the cause of the break.
I called Britax and the "lady" on the phone told me that I was supposed to remove(!!) and clean the belt regularly and that I should have noticed the fraying.
Now, maybe I'm a bozo, but I don't see how one could remove that particular strap without cutting it somewhere? One end the metal T hook and the other is folded over and sewn.
I have hosted some pics and posted them here http://www.practiceboard.com/?7302969 so that you can see what I mean.
I have a few other Marathons and I'm very concerned about this!
