Britax Frontier Booster Canyon

Best Price: $252.00

from Anonymous, www.elitecarseats.com
when tightening the latch - you have to pull through the holes - my son loves it too.
from anonymous, www.elitecarseats.com
after clicking into latch anchors, pull the tightening tabs up through the holes in the back of the seat (find the holes by looking under the back cushion).
from www.amazon.com
the seat and you can pull them tight through the seat which looks to me like it would give you a better angle at tightening them, especially if the seat is in your car directly next to another seat.
from www.amazon.com
he had installed it correctly...basically she just put all her weight on the seat and showed me how to do the final tightening.
from www.amazon.com
(make sure you pull the seat belt strap through the opening of the seat when tightening)

Evenflo Triumph Advance LX

Best Price: $190.00

from www.amazon.com
getting the seat secured with the latch system was a breeze and tightening it as much as possible to secure the seat in the car took a little work, but they all do.
from www.amazon.com
it is easy to use/quick to lock in baby, and the fact that there is an easy to reach knob for loosening/tightening the straps is a big plus.
from www.amazon.com
i love love love the tightening mechanism for the belt - i don't know why all car seat manufacturers don't do this.
from www.amazon.com
the adjuster knob for tightening or loosening the harness is the only feature that is slightly annoying, but it isn't terrible.
from www.amazon.com
he'll be able to use it for a long time (holds up to 50 lbs.) tightening straps is very easy with a turn of the dial.

Sunshine Kids Radian 80

Best Price: $215.00

from www.amazon.com
the radian ratchet system for tightening the straps works better than britax's system...and it also has quick release like the britax.
from www.amazon.com
there was wear on the base and on the tightening strap at the front of the seat.
from www.amazon.com
downside is the straps tend to twist when you are placing child in the seat and when adjusted in the shortest position, have difficulty tightening.
from www.amazon.com
*tightening the harness straps requires coordination, this is a tight fit so you will probably need to pull hard, not an issue for us but other reviews mention this.
from www.amazon.com
the ratcheting tightening mechanism for the harness is nice, but that can be somewhat tedious if you loosen the straps too much when you take the child out.

Britax Marathon Cowmooflage

Best Price: $252.00

from store.babycenter.com
it was always such a pain to get our son strapped in by tightening (yanking) the straps behind his seat and then having to reach behind him to get them loose again!
from store.babycenter.com
also, loosening the straps to put her in and tightening them for the drive is so simple, no need to move the carseat or pull it out!!
from www.amazon.com
the lowest position and to tighten him in, while pulling on the front tightener, the metal mechanism under the seat was catching on the molding thus preventing us from tightening as much as needed.
from www.amazon.com
the only issue we have had is that the belt tightening mechanism gets stuck occasionally.
from www.amazon.com
my children enjoy the comfort, i enjoy the ease of fastening and tightening the harness.

the only thing i'm not crazy about is the fact that i have a more difficult time tightening the straps in the britax and they seem to tangle easily, something the product review says they won't do.
from www.amazon.com
we purchased this seat for our daughter at 11 months old after trying to use a graco comfort sport and getting frustrated with the tightening and loosening of the harness of that model.
from www.amazon.com
i have used it in several rental cars and they have reached, although tightening them was pretty difficult.
from www.amazon.com
fastening and tightening the harness is a little bit of a chore with the seat rear-facing, but i imagine the same problem would occur with most other seats.

as with the other britax models, tightening the shoulder straps does take a little getting used to in rear-facing mode, but you do get used to it.
from www.amazon.com
yesterday, after our stroller strides class, we were loading up, and the harness adjustment broke as i was tightening the harness.
from www.amazon.com
otherwise, i'm constantly pulling over on the road and re-tightening the straps.

The First Years True Fit

Best Price: $170.00

from www.amazon.com
a knee on the seat while rocking it back and forth and pulling up on the tightening strap will get it rock solid tight.
from www.amazon.com
instead of loosening and tightening the harness every time your child goes in and out of the seat, take advantage of the continuous harness.
from www.amazon.com
i had to flip the latch belt so that it would attatch with the tightening belt facing outwards, but other than that the installation was not at all difficult.
from www.amazon.com
* the harness release latch and tightening strap are a little difficult to reach when rear-facing.
from www.amazon.com
this means you can tighten the straps to your child, but still be able to get them in and out without actually re-tightening.
