TO CLEAN HARNESS BUCKLE

If sticky liquids such as baby formula, fruit juice, etc. get inside your 
Harness Buckle, it may become sluggish. An indication of a sluggish 
Harness Buckle is that you cannot hear a click when engaging the 
Harness Tongues. To restore the Harness Buckle to good working order it 
needs to be cleaned as follows: 

A. 

 From the underside of the restraint pull each crotch 3-bar slide then 

turn 3-bar slide and push through each slot to remove the Harness 
Buckle from the restraint.

B. 

 Place the Harness Buckle under warm (max. 40 degrees Celsius) 

running water as shown below. Let the water run through the mouth of 
the buckle for five minutes.

C.

  Engage and disengage the Harness Tongues and Buckles several 

times until a strong audible click is heard when the last tongue is 

inserted.

D. 

 If you still cannot hear a strong audible click after engaging the 

Harness Tongues and Buckle, then repeat cleaning several times. If the 
Harness Buckle cannot be returned to its original working condition 

then contact Safe-n-Sound/Britax Childcare Customer Service.

E.

  Refit the harness buckle to the restraint with the red button facing out 

& feeding each 3-bar slide through previous used slots, refer to the 
following pages if you need to recheck the slots used.

    • Pages 14 and 17 Toddler Mode - In-built harness
    • Pages 28 to 30 Booster Seat Mode.

BUCKLE OPERATION

To ensure the buckle remains operational the inside of the buckle must be kept free of liquids, sand, 
dirt, fluff, food or similar substances. If the buckle is not operating or does not have the click when 
second tongue is inserted then the buckle needs to be washed or replaced. Contact our Customer 
Service Department for assistance.
