What seats have a continuous harness?

Nedra · Aug 14, 2015

Are there other currently-manufactured seats besides the Sureride that have a continuous (single loop) harness?

Safety 1st Guide, Scenera NEXT. Maybe some other Dorel seats?

I read in some older posts that the Complete Air seat had a continuous harness -- anyone know if this is still the case? What about the Maxi Cosi Pria?

I'm looking for a seat (ideally a convertible) with a continuous harness that is very easy to install. The Scenara Next might be a good option. Any others that have an easy install?

Is it for a grandparent? I feel like the continuous harnesses get twisted really easily.

Yeah, it was going to be for a grandparent. Good to know about the twisty harnesses.

It's a huge pain.
DH said the seat was crooked, but he needed to even out the Sure Ride! He doesn't always take time for any extra steps. The older kids can't even help buckle. I pretty much need to do it. Other than that, I like the Sure Ride.

Out of curiosity, why would you want a continuous harness? I've never found them to be a perk... Wondering if I'm just missing something.

A continuous harness can make it easier to not have to loosen the harness every time, as you can loosen one side, get an arm in, then move the harness around to get the other arm in.

It can also be helpful if a child has an injury and needs a little space on one side and not the other. Or if a child has uneven shoulders.

This was my reasoning. My in-laws' have trouble getting the car seat tight enough when they pull the adjuster strap, but when we have brought up leaving it tight and just buckling, they also struggle with threading her arms through the straps. I had thought a continuous harness might help. But we tried out pulling slack from one side to the other on the Titan 65 (our spare seat because my in-laws' usually have a BLVD Clicktight and we are waiting for the recall fix) yesterday and my FIL struggled with it, so I think it would only complicate things further. I gave them the RA G4 to use instead.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I keep looking for the "magic bullet" that will help them get the harness tight enough.
