No Offense I think you have a point, but why are the straps not tightened against her chest. Many peopple do not use the straps correctly trying to make their children more comfortable. My child hates her car seat, but at least she is safe.

The whole reason I made this video was for training. I have seen friends and random people put their children in their carseats like this and think it's safe. My point was to show one reason why it's not.

As a car seat tech (the one below me) you should know that the HUGS system comes with the Britax seats. It will not void the warranty as it was made with the seat and tested with it. They "patent" the HUGS system.  I do believe she stated that this is an EXAMPLE of why the harness needs to be tightened. This is not showing what she does in the car. She tightens them proplery and is NOT using any after market products. Great video!

Here's the deal, the chest strap is not illegal in the EU. It is illegal for a company to sell a car seat with one one, but its not illegal to buy a strap and put it on yourself.

If you looking for a chest strap in the uk id suggest houdinistop.co.uk its been crash tested

@car4yourbabes how do you like the My Ride 65? does it fit well in your car and what size car do you have? like i said it is the next carseat I am looking at for my 5 month old. she is only 13 lbs and 24 inches so I have a feeling she will be in the seat she is in till she grows too long for it. but she will be able to reface for Quiet a while. Please tell me what you like or dis like about it so I can Judge if taht seat is the Right one for my family? Thanks

@jsrcamp When replies and such are removed it can be difficult to follow a thread. My 6 yr old and 4 yr old are in Regents and my 22 month old is in a My Ride 65. I wish I could afford the Radian seats to put my 4 yr old back RF since she keeps asking and if I got her a MY Ride 65 she would have about a year left to RF due to height now weight. She is 37 lbs and it takes her a long time to gain that 3 lbs.

But they will all be harnessed until they don't fit.

my brother used to do that in the car!

@car4yourbabes opps sorry didnt know that. I am happy that you are very well informed about carseats. I wish all moms and dads knew the safty of them. I try myself to tell my friends that are moms or dads the safty of keeping their child refacing for as long as possibial and also in the 5 point harness system for as long as possibial.my 4year old daughter will be in her 5 point harness till 65 lbs. and I am going to get the my ride 65 for my 4 month old to keep refacing till 40lbs.

@jsrcamp When I replied there was a link for a site that had a product to put on the harness to keep the chest clip from being moved down.

I own 2 Britax seats I know the rubber things on the seat are the HUGS and come with the seat. I am very well informed on car seats.

@car4yourbabes actually the thing that is on this carseat actually come witt the carseat. so it is not an after market product.

@jaz3mummy , I don't know where you get your info that all seats have black harnesses. Dorel's seats have black harnesses, this is not a Dorel seat. Britax uses grey or tan on most seats, they have some that have black as well, and Sunshine kids uses grey harnesses. This seats DOM is sept. 05. It's still good for another year and a half. And it is a 5 point harness, just loose to show how easy and quickly she could get out with it that way.
