Wizard ff lock-off slipping

We have 2 Wizards for Laura right now, one in each of our cars. I took them out last week for cleaning etc, and decided to switch which vehicle each was in, so the one with the more padded headrest would be in my van which she rides in 95% of the time. I got the one in my van installed tightly w/no problem as usual. Today when I took her out of her seat, I noticed it looked like the seatbelt slid through the lock-off ever so slightly, so I double checked, and sure enough it is not holding well anymore. I locked the shoulder belt instead for now, but I really like using the lock-offs darn it!. Now if I want to use that lock-off, I will have to call Britax and see if I can get a new one, but the problem with that is, I don't know if they have any of the old style anymore. Has anyone gotten one recently? I know its fine installed w/the belt locked instead, its just more time consuming usually and just not as easy as using the lock-off.
So that's my vent for the day!! ;)

Will the new lock off work in the WZ? They are much nicer than the old ones. They do not pop open.

I thought that only the old rf lock offs popped open. My ff ones have always worked great until now, and have never actually come open on their own. I really don't like the new ff lock offs at all personally.

You are correct. I guess it would help if I did not automatically assume every child is RF...LOL. I do not care for the FF locloffs that the lipple "flipper thing" clamp on the seatbelt either. Some people have said it has left marks on thier seatbelt.
