When you loosen a harness do you pull on one shoulder strap or both?....

I was curious after reading the thread about the frontier straps coming off the splitter plate.

Well I don't have a Frontier but for the most part I loosen the straps and to do so I pull at the chest clip so that the straps loosen equally.

You mean that some people just pull one strap to loosen

I used to pull one but since the recent problem was discovered, i am going to make a conscience effort to pull both!

I've always pulled one strap, I'm curious to see what most people do. The poll isn't just for the frontier it is for all seats.

Same here. I pull at the chest clip so both loosen.

I pull on the chest clip, and so does Ryan (he's learned to loosen his harness to get out).

Same here. My DH sometimes does it with just one strap, but my OCD-wired brain says, "Blah! It's uneven!!" No, no, no, it just feels wrong.

I voted other because I pull on the chest clip... so much easier and one step.

I pull both, but it has nothing to do with the Frontier. It's a habit from using the single strapped Scenera. They get lopsided easily and I can't stand always having to fix uneven straps. Pulling the chest clip doesn't work for me because I'm usually only loosening when I'm putting the child back in.

Yup, I usually only loosen when I'm putting my dd in, so I grab one strap.

I usually slip my fingers under the chest clip to loosen and tighten the straps on Meredith's ComfortSport. I didn't need to loosen the straps on the Radian to get her out.

One strap, but I only ever do it when I realize that our LAST trip was with sposies and THIS time we're in cloth :ROTFLMAO:

Ditto. I always grab right at/just below the chest clip and pull there to loosen both sides evenly.

Same here, I'm in the habit of pulling both via the still buckled chest clip. I had to go against that usual method to pull on just one side to do Trudy's experiment with our Frontier.

I pull both straps to loosen the harness. I put my arm/wrist behind the straps & pull them both. I have never loosened just one side. It would bug the crap outta me to have uneven straps!!

i used to pull both on the signo before the recall out of fear of the strap coming off, but since the recall for the splitter plate problem, i pull on only one side (it's easier). i'm not familiar with the frontier issue, but it sounds similar to the problem recaro had with the signos and comos.
