    Default BV stiff harness adjustment

    I don't know if it's just because the seat is pretty new or what, but it seems really hard to adjust the harness on DS's new BV. Whenever I try pulling on the strap to adjust it, I have to pull really, really hard to get it to tighten at all. It just seems so much harder than his SS1. Is there a "trick" I need to know?

    You just have to tug tug tug in short little tugs, and I think you want to pull straight up if possible (I think...you definitely want to make sure you aren't pulling at an angle). Also, reaching behind the seat and tightening up the harness from the back helps. If it's rearfacing you can take off the rubber HUGS from the harness (don't lose them, you need them for forward facing). Also, make sure to only check for tightness on the shoulder..it'll be pretty lose over the torso all the time, you only want it snug on the shoulder.

    Long story short? The adjuster is just not as smooth and easy to use as the SS1
