Hey, I have two Graco seats, one a rear facing convertible and one a harnessed booster and I can't stand the manual hooked Latch straps. I contacted Graco about upgrading to one of their other types of straps and got a generic response of you can't change your car seat....blah blah blah. I get the best for using the latch and anchors but with having car troubles I am changing seats around quiet a bit. I can unlatch them once the strap gets loosened up but I have trouble and takes a bit to get the strap to loose. I push the button in and pull but it just is so tight I can't really push the button in enough and pull. Maybe I'm tightening my seats too far idk. After I get them installed they don't move at all. My infant carrier seat is a Chicco Keyfit 30 and have the buckle type latch and it's easy as pie but he's within a quarter inch of being too tall for it. Is it safe to change out the lower latch? Aren't they all safe? Especially from the same maufacturer? I don't have money to spend on new seats just for the straps especially since these have years left before they expire. Thank you.
