Converting the Britax Evolved Carseat from iPad Booster to Group One Car Seat
In this article, we will explore the process of converting the Britax Evolved car seat from an iPad booster back to a group one car seat. If you have followed my previous video on removing the harness, this article will guide you on how to put it back into the car seat.
Removing the Harness
To begin with, ensure that the headrest is in its lowest position. If you have been using the car seat as a high-backed booster, make sure to adjust the headrest accordingly. Next, take the harness pads and place them in front of the seat. If you did not remove the harness pads previously, simply ensure that they are properly positioned.
Additionally, you may want to remove the metal yoke by pressing the metal square button and pulling it out. This will allow you to have more space to work with during the reassembly process.
Adjusting the Headrest
Before reattaching the harness, it is important to retrieve the buckle. Locate the buckle, which should be in the lower part of the seat if you followed the previous instructions. Pop it back into position.
Personally, I find it easier to put the buckle back in place before working with the harness. This helps ensure that the harness does not get twisted during the reassembly process. Take the metal yoke and insert it into the buckle hole, making sure it goes through the fabric. There may be a break in the metal bracket, which is normal. Pop the yoke through the break and make sure it is securely attached.
Reattaching the Harness
Now, it's time to put the harness back into the car seat. Start by clearing any tangles from the elastics. Take the harness pads and position them just in front of the seat. Pull the buckles forward and connect them, focusing on keeping the two hip pieces straight.
One by one, lift the harness strap number one and thread it through the seat, making sure there are no twists. It is crucial that the headrest is in the lowest position as a booster, allowing you to easily thread the strap through the holes.
Next, connect the shorter strap to the bottom hook, which serves as the harness pad. Repeat this process for harness strap number two, ensuring it is straight and untangled before threading it through the seat.
Adjusting the Harness Length
Once the harness is attached, follow these final steps to ensure it is properly secured. Press the button on the harness to lengthen it and pull the metal bracket slightly upward. The bracket should align with the stitched side of the harness. Hook the harness back onto the yoke and make sure it is securely attached. Flip the seat back upright and check that the harness is in place.
Lowering the Harness for Smaller Children
If you need to lower the harness for a smaller child, simply push it back and adjust it to the appropriate height. Ensure that it clicks into place, and your seat will now function as a group one car seat.
Conclusion
In conclusion, converting the Britax Evolved car seat from an iPad booster to a group one car seat may seem daunting at first. However, by following these step-by-step instructions, you can easily reassemble the car seat and ensure the safety of your child during car rides. Always double-check that the harness is properly attached and free from twists. With this knowledge, you can confidently adapt the car seat to suit your child's needs.
