I will give that a try. I can pinch but only barely so it's close but not perfect.</p> <p>@kiddosc: That is good to know, I can barely pinch but I assumed having a gap over the belly was a no no. I am going to work on getting rid of that bit of slack </p> <p>@looch: I need to figure that out, rereading the manual is my next step. I love the shoulder pads because she can rest her cheek on them but the great grippy things are a pain.</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: which are the hugs? The grip or the pads? Thanks!</p> <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: That's good to know, thanks! I think that would help.</p> <p>@yellowbird: looking at the pictures again I think you're right, I am going to try and make sure they are all the way down before I buckle her in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2117259 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 23:20:45 +0000 Cchoi4 2117259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second T.H.O.U's suggestion of moving the chest clip up after using the click tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2116663 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 23:12:01 +0000 kiddosc 2116663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you pinch the straps on the shoulders? If the shoulders are tight then it is OK if there is a gap over the belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2116654 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 22:44:38 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2116654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I removed those gray chest pads on my marathon click tight to get a better fit on my 13 month old. The manual said they aren't required until forward facing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2116651 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 22:42:18 +0000 yellowbird 2116651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: you can even pull the grey grippy things down a bit just make sure the chest clip is still at armpit level that may help. As long as it passes the pinch test at the shoulder, it is good though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2116648 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 22:38:22 +0000 LovelyPlum 2116648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Britax Boulevard Clicktight, and when LO was smaller, we had to take off the gray hugs pads. I am going to put them back on soon (she is almost a year). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2115832 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:48:26 +0000 looch 2115832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you remove those shoulder pads (I don't know the formal name for them, sorry)? It looks like the grips are hitting up against them.</p> <p>I also kind of thread the straps into the holes in the back when I am pulling up on the crotch strap. It's a process, we have the same seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2115720 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 09:00:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2115720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I find it helps when I tighten mine that I buckle the crotch and then pull it tight across the legs (just get the slack out). Then I do the chest clip but keep it low. I tighten as much as I can and then slide the chest clip up again. And then give it one more try to tighten. </p> <p>Note: I don't have a click tight though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2115719 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 08:58:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2115719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you pinch the straps and get fabric between your fingers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-britax-boulevard-straps#post-2115681 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 08:37:32 +0000 Cole 2115681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anyone take a look at this and offer a suggestion for me? This doesn't look right but I am having a fit getting it tighter because of the gray grippy things. It has the click and safe feature and it clicks when I pull on it. </p> [attach=2228/15/nlij6k.450x600.IMG_20150320_093350.jpg] [attach=2228/15/nlij6m.450x600.IMG_20150320_093405.jpg]
