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.  Remove the harness buckle from the restraint:  

From the underside of the restraint pull each  

crotch 3-bar slide then turn the 3-bar slide  

and push through each slot.

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. Check the harness buckle is clean 

by engaging the harness tongues and buckle 

several times until you hear a click.

C.  If you still cannot hear a strong audible click then 

repeat the cleaning process several times. 

D.  Refit the harness buckle to the restraint ensuring  

the red button facing outwards and the 3-bar  

slide is fed through the same slots.

If the harness buckle cannot be returned to its 

original working condition then contact BRITAX 

Customer Service for assistance.

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 you 

do not hear a strong audible click when second tongue is inserted then the buckle 

needs to be washed or replaced. Contact Customer Service for assistance.
