Britax Safe-n-Sound Compaq Questions & Answers

Hi, I bought a second hand Britax Safe-n-Sound Compaq from a good friend had a back up for my mother’s car. When my little one is in the seat rear facing, the harness straps won’t tighten, very hard to pull. I have to fiddle with the back for it to work. Though without my little one the straps can be easily pulled?

I am looking at purchasing this compaq car seat for my granddaughter 6 months old, who will be coming to visit, my question is is anyone using this in a Mazda CX-3 rear facing? I am finding it difficult to find a car seat to fit, i am only 5'3 but husband is 6'2 so needs some leg room..thank you for any help

I have the compaq MK11 and have noticed that when my daughter is strapped in if she leans forward or pulls on her arm straps they come loose?? Why is this happening this is not safe!!

I have purchased the Safe n Sound Compaq MKII from a shop which is closing down. If I have any problems with the item where do I go to get it fixed? I live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and purchased the car seat from Buy4Baby Narrabeen.

We are looking at getting the COMPAQ MKII for our twins. Does anyone know if the buckle clips in one side at a time or do you have to put them together to clip it in?
We live 150km away from the closest baby store so it's hard to get there. Thank you

I've just bought this seat and am having issues with the buckle sitting too low and the straps cutting into my daughters thighs. I've adjusted the straps properly and tightened them and every other aspect of the seat is fine except the buckle height. I was told to try and adjust it but it can't adjusted? How can this be fixed please? It's quite irritating as i bought it for the fantastic safety rating and ERF options but unless I can get this buckle sitting correctly it's not very safe. Thank you.

How do you get the black plastic clips that are attacheched to the metal buckle on the back of the seat that hold the actual straps of the car seat? We'd really lile to clean the seat but these black plastic pieces are incredibly hard to get off so we can get the straps disconeected and take cover off!

To unbundle, I have to hold the buckles in place otherwise only the right belt unclicks. Is this normal?

I am looking to buy this product for my 2 and a half year old grand-daughter. I don't want to use it as a rear seat. Will it fit my Hyundai Hatch with leg room for the passenger? Thank you. Angie.

I have recently bought this for my 5month old. The body harness strap is extremely difficult to loosen and tighten. Barely moving when I very firmly push down the release button. I have used many car seats in the past and know that this is not right.
Help!

Hi, We've just bought a Safe-n-Sound Compaq. The box we received had previously been opened and there was no packaging on the product. What I'm curious of is, is there meant to be a seatbelt lock for the car seatbelt to stop the car seatbelt from working lose under the base when it's placed in the rearward facing position?

Hi. Can anyone tell me the measurement to the shoulder marker when baby can face forward in this seat? We already have a Steelcraft Agile carrier/seat so I am looking to move bub to the Compaq only when she can forward face. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to check the manufacture date of a Compaq car seat if the sticker has come off! Have there been other versions/ changes in the seat that may help to date it? When did the Compaq first come out?

What are the differences between the old and new version? Is it still ok to purchase the older version as I have seen some Compaq seats for a cheaper price and I assume they must be the older version?
