Should I worry? Loose straps!

Yesterday dh was getting dd1 in her frontier. I had loosened the straps for her to get in. She buckled her self and dh pulled the strap to tighten it but when he pulled on the harness to make sure it was tight, it came loose. Well he tried again, and again and the straps wouldnt tighten. He was able to pull the straps waaay out. So I walked over and pulled on it myself and it tightened. I pulled on it a few times and it was fine. Im not sure what he was doing that it wasnt tightening. Is this something I should be worried about???

uhh..i hve no idea? Can you inspect the adjuster mechanism? sonds like maybe it got stuck in the "out" position and therefore wasn't clamping down, but then when you puklled it, perhaps you changed the angle you were pulling at or something and therefore caused it to clamp down properly? Regardless, i woudl be extermely worried about a seat that might not be locked tight...I would see if you can repeat the incident, and call Britax and explain to them. See what they say. You coudl have an adjuster malfunction.
