• The buckle latches will not lock into the buckle securely

• The buckle latches engage without an audible click

• The buckle latches are diﬃcult to insert ( any resistance is felt)

• The buckle opens only when extreme force is applied.

To clean the harness buckle

1. Follow steps shown in secon 7 to remove the buckle from the seat (ﬁgs.51, 53)

2. Soak the harness buckle in warm water with mild washing up liquid only for at least an hour. Rinse and allow to air dry thoroughly before replacing the buckle on the seat. (ﬁg.64)
