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:
Remove the Harness Buckle from the restraint by disengaging both 3-Bar Slides as instructed
in steps A to D on page 22.
A.
B. Place the Harness Buckle under warm
(approx. 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.

Refit Harness Buckle to the restraint by positioning the Buckle assembly with the red button
facing out and feeding each 3-Bar Slide through appropriate slot as in step D on page 22.
If you still cannot hear a strong audible click after engaging the Harness Tongues and Buckle,
then repeat cleaning as above several times. If the Harness Buckle cannot be returned to its
original working condition then contact Britax Childcare.
Please check the following items regularly to ensure the safety of your child:
Check the webbing for fraying.
Check that the buckle clicks and is not sluggish or sticky in operation.
Ensure there are no cracks in moulding or the plastic moulding.
Check the harness adjuster is operating and is clamping the webbing.
If any part of the restraint is cracked or broken, seek repair immediately or replace the
child restraint.
