I didn't realize that the chest clip's sole purpose is to keep the straps in place - I didn't know it serves no purpose in an actual crash. I talked to Britax and they are sending me a new chest clip to install. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-clip-comes-undone-with-minimal-pressure#post-2453063 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 22:31:31 +0000 hellobeeboston 2453063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that doesn't sound right. We have all britax seats and that doesn't happen to any of ours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-clip-comes-undone-with-minimal-pressure#post-2453044 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 21:39:23 +0000 MrsSRS 2453044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with pp. Don't panic. The chest clip is designed to come apart so as long as the straps are snug and close together you are fine to use the seat while you wait for a new chest clip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-clip-comes-undone-with-minimal-pressure#post-2453040 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 21:25:19 +0000 Ms maths 2453040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this happen (with a different brand) and then it just resolved itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-clip-comes-undone-with-minimal-pressure#post-2453011 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 20:30:03 +0000 Kemma 2453011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely something to get checked out but the chest clip's main function is to hold the straps in place and will break apart in an accident anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-clip-comes-undone-with-minimal-pressure#post-2452969 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 18:41:32 +0000 pinkcupcake 2452969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was buckling my daughter into her car seat today (Britax advocate, purchased in 2014) and noticed that the chest clip comes apart with just minimal pressure (without having to press down on the little latch). You just pull it and it comes apart. </p> <p>I just emailed Britax but I'm terrified that the car seat isn't safe now. Anyone else had this problem or heard of it? We will be using our spare car seat while we figure out what is going on... </p>
