Tips and Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Problem: The harness cannot be adjusted to its full height.

Possible Solution: Check the seating position where the child seat is installed. The vehicle head restraint may obstruct the path of the child seat harness height adjuster. Remove or raise the vehicle head restraint and try adjusting the harness height again.

Problem: The harness is hard to adjust.

Possible Solution: The yoke may be caught on the Versa-Tether®webbing or other component of the child seat. Remove the obstruction and try adjusting the harness again. Always store the Versa-Tether in the pouch provided when not in use. When the Versa-Tether is in use, always secure excess webbing in the elastic strap. See pages 26 – 29.

Possible Solution: The vehicle seat back may hinder harness adjustment. Ensure the child seat base is flat on the vehicle seat.

Possible Solution: The harness may be at maximum or minimum height, the harness may be too tight to adjust, or the child’s weight may be pressing against the head restraint. Check for and correct all of the above where necessary and try adjusting the harness again.

Problem: The adjuster strap is fraying at the sides.

Possible Solution: Pull the harness adjuster strap up and away from the child seat to tighten. Do not pull sideways. Doing so may cause the harness adjuster strap to fray at the sides. See page 57.

Problem: The buckle will not fasten with a click after each tongue is inserted.

Possible solution: There may be debris in the buckle mechanism. Clean the buckle as shown on pages 64 – 65 and try fastening the buckle again.

70 CS specifications

The Britax 70 CS is a highly regarded car seat designed for optimal safety, comfort, and convenience for parents and their little ones. It exemplifies Britax's commitment to innovative features and thoughtful design, ensuring that both parents and children have peace of mind during travel.

One of the standout features of the Britax 70 CS is its unique SafeCell Technology. This system includes a specially designed base that compresses during a crash, lowering the center of gravity and reducing the likelihood of vehicle movement. This feature helps to keep the car seat more securely anchored in place, providing additional protection for the child in the event of an accident. Additionally, the car seat is equipped with a Deep Side Impact Protection system, which features a contoured shell that absorbs crash energy and absorbs impact forces, effectively safeguarding the child's head, neck, and torso.

Comfort is another key characteristic of the Britax 70 CS. The seat is engineered with plush, soft fabrics that provide a cozy environment for children. The seat also features multiple recline positions, allowing parents to adjust the angle for their child's comfort. This is particularly important for younger children who may need a more reclined position to support their head and neck.

Installation of the Britax 70 CS is designed to be user-friendly. The seat features the easy to use, secure installation system with a built-in lock-off that ensures the seat is tightly secured to the vehicle's seat. The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors make it simple to install the car seat without the use of the vehicle's seat belt.

In terms of versatility, the Britax 70 CS accommodates children from 5 to 70 pounds, allowing for extended use as the child grows. Its harness system is adjustable, ensuring proper fit as the child gains weight and height. Furthermore, it converts seamlessly from a rear-facing car seat for infants to a forward-facing seat for older children, making it a long-term investment for safety.

Overall, the Britax 70 CS stands out as a premier choice for parents seeking a car seat that brings together high-level safety features, comfort, and ease of use. Its combination of advanced technologies and thoughtful design makes it an excellent option for family journeys.
