I just got my roundabout out of the basement to use tomorrow because i'll be babysitting my friend's child and I was playing around with it and buckling it and it just looks so gross to me...the word ghetto popped into my head. It's over 4 y.o....the chest buckle doesn't slide up and down very well. I don't know if it's because the straps are dirty or if it was always like that and i just forgot. I'm so used to my LO's new chicco keyfit i've been spoiled...
i guess it's time to clean my britax..after tomorrows babysitting that is.

You can take a cloth with warm water and a tiny bit of soap and use it to wipe off the straps. The straps can't actually be washed in the machine anyways, so using the cloth will clean it up and it'll still be usable for tomorrow. You can also remove the chest clip and wash it in warm soap water.

I'd also suggest checking the crotch buckle and making sure that it still latches with a strong click when you put in the 2nd buckle. If the seat's dirty it could be that the buckle needs to be cleaned as well. You can do that tonight too and still have the seat ready for tomorrow. The manual has instructions on how to do it and the manual is available online if you don't have yours handy. :thumbsup:
