My sis threw her entire harness assembly, buckles and all, into the washer. This was the *used* SafeSeat I gave her last week because my 15 month old nephew had grown out of the SnugRide he was in but she refused to put him into convertible seat until spring because it's so cold. Well, he got sick, puked all over everything, so it all went into the washer.
She tells me this at my parents' house last night. I think I maybe freaked a little... lol... My BIL got defensive, said that was ridiculous, those straps will never break! My dad even chimed in that straps like that are used to load boats onto trailers - a 25 lb kid isn't going to break them! I showed them the crash test of the expired Britax seat just to demonstrate that they're not infallible when used incorrectly.
Anyway, after what BIL and dad said, and even after watching the video, I'm sure she won't replace the straps unless I get them for her. If I order the "complete harness assembly" from the Graco website, does it come with the crotch strap and the buckles as well? I know it doesn't have the chest clip because I can see you can order that seperately... but I don't see the other parts seperately. I just want to make sure I get everything I need. I've only had to replace straps on one other seat and it was a long time ago, so I don't remember what I ordered.
