1. The straps twist easily.
Honestly this surprised me. I Britax mostly for the fact that I've NEVER had a strap twist on me.
I think it's the difference that the seat has armrests and a L O N G harness. NO velcro to hold the straps back. The buckle tongues slide all the way down to the seat bottom, and when DD gets in me (but mostly DH) can't see the buckle furthest away from us so we blindly reach for it and as it's pulled up the strap folds over inside the tongue and as you continue to pull, it completely twists over.
It's easily fixed ( the webbing is thinner than my other Britax harnesses, and the buckle tongues seem larger .You can just fold it back the other way and slide the buckle over it and it's fixed but still annoying):thumbsdown:
I've tried holding the harness open when she gets out but folding up the armrests, but DH doesn't do it, so it keeps happening.
2. The headrest wings rattle when I'm driving and DD's not in the seat.
I don't have a fix for this, luckily it's not often.
Anyone else finding "quirks"???
