dandkaasked
We have two of these and have used them with our grandchildren. It’s always puzzled me that even though we have carefully followed the installation instructions and securely tethered it to the fitting in the car, you still seem to be able to manually pull the back of the child seat forward away from the car seat. It’s not firmly wedged against the car seat back. We’ve assumed that in the event of an accident the car seat belt would take over and hold everything in place. Is this correct?

Mine is also like this, Ive been trying to look on laws regarding the anchored tether strap and cant seem to find out. I was told in Qld that we are allowed to use the booster seats that dont have a anchored tether strap. But if you are worried you can see if a professional car seat fitter might be able to help you.
Thankyou Chloe. I think I’ll try talking to Britax first and then if still in doubt will check with a car seat fitter and see what they say.
Support C.Britax Safe-n-Sound
Hi Dandka, thanks for your question. The top tether must always be used with seat that are provided with a top tether. In regards to the fitment if you would like to give us a call on 1300 303 330 we would like to discuss this with you in further detail. Kind regards, the Safe-n-Sound team.

Carolyn D.asked
What is the use by date for this seat... is it 10 years
1 answer
Support C.Britax Safe-n-Sound
Hi Carolyn, thanks for your question. Our recommendation on the lifespan is anything 10 years or older should not be used. We recommend replacement at 10 years, due to deterioration of the plastics used in the construction of modern restraints. A seat may have become brittle over time, and simply will not provide the same level of protection against impact. Older child restraints may not contain all the safety features of the latest Australian Standard. Kind regards, the Britax Safe-n-Sound team.
Salasked
My grand daughter is only 29 months but is big for her age. I'm just wondering what height and weight does she need to be to start using hi liner?
Thanks in advance

I was told by kid safe that it is illegal to put a child under 4 years old in a booster seat. These booster seats have shoulder height markers where the child shoulders must reach to be safe. If you do a quick google you will see that the laws required children under 4 years to be in car seats and 4-7 years in booster seats.
WA have the department of transport that detail the requirements. You may want to check with your state transportation department for the requirements. https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/seats-and-seat-belts.asp

Birth to 6 months

Melanie Hasked
Hi is the hi liner booster seat meant to be floppy like it moves forward easily is there a way to lock it so it doesn’t move forward like it’s folding? the person I bought it off said it’s meant to be like that ?

Support C.Britax Safe-n-Sound
Hi Melanie, thanks for your question. The Hi Liner seat should be attached to the vehicle with the top tether strap that should stop the seat moving. Please feel free to give us a call on 1300 303 330 if you would like to discuss this with us. Kind regards, the Britax team.
Carlyasked
Hi I'm considering buying 2nd hand 2015 SG hi linear booster seat but want to use a protecta has ness strap for it. When I ask the seller if the seat is suitable fir harness strap she said no it's only seat belt booster seat. No harness holes.
Could this be wrong and she doesn't know what she's talking about? When I read up on the harness suitability the 2015 hi linear should be able to use the harness strap. Do holes need to be cut to accomodate the new straps?
Also how hard/easy is the harness straps to take on and off each car ride? I watch u tube video and it seems complicated? Thanks

Silly question - does the Britax Safe-n-Sound Hi-Liner SG use the car's seat belts to secure the child into the seat or does it use a harness?
JenOasked
I have just purchased a hi-liner series number 4820/A/2004 secondhand, of course ... I didn't realise it was quite so old and that it was also purchased secondhand by the woman I purchased it from (she had written on the book that she had purchased off e-bay in 2012). Is this booster seat recognised as being safe by Australian standards and also is it possible to purchase a new cover for the seat? Thank you.

Anne Lasked
Hi, we recently bought this booster seat to fit into our new Volkswagen Golf R (latest model). We found that compared with the old baby car seat, the anchor point on the seat is a lot lower in the booster, and when anchoring to the car, it is difficult to tighten the slack, so the seat has some give. Are we doing something wrong? Should this be compatible with the car? Thanks for your help,
Anne
