I haven't gotten the wider buckle tongues yet. I have to have it shipped to DH's family in Indiana, hopefully we'll be visiting them for Easter so I'll have my new carseat parts after then. The parts apparently aren't approved for use in Canada so SKJP can't ship them to me (According to Russ, some Canadians on the other board have claimed that SK shipped the parts to them though.)
Anyways, so I still have the original, narrow buckle tongues. They're supposed to be easier to use so that they stay in place and you don't have to go searching for them under DC's bum. But they're so tight on the straps that the sides of the straps are fraying. I know with some Britax seats, people got them replaced because the strap was fraying. So is that dangerous?
DH is an engineer and tells me it's fine but I'm not convinced. I'm really disappointed actually. We only just got this seat in September, so less than 6 months old. It's supposed to last 8 years? I can just imagine how bad the straps will look in another 7.5 years. Scary thought.
I can take pictures if that would help.
