  • An easy to follow video on how to remove the harness from your Britax Evolva group 123 car seat to convert it into a high back booster for an older child.
    This applies for the Britax Evolva Standard, Evolva Plus and Evolva SL SICT.

    I'm a grandparent and pretty handy but the instructions that came with the seat to convert it for a a larger child are totally incomprehensible. After 20 minutes I gave up and found this brilliant video. Job done within 7 minutes. The mystery is how you ever fathomed out how to do it yourself!! Very grateful for the time and trouble you took to make this. Thank you. Britax should hang its head in shame.

    OMG, I just washed the cover and spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out how to fix those f**king elastic bands on the side of the back cover. Was looking for hooks all over the place. Didn’t realize they were for the future use. Thank you so much for the video!

    Thanks for doing this. Things make a lot more sense with a visual demonstration rather than trying to just follow the manual.

    Was given one of this that used ti belong to a now 9 year old to a 18 month old... Watching this video... I reversed it to fit all the harnesses and I'd like to say a massive THANK YOU honestly.
    Can't wait to put it in the car and take my niece out 🚙😍

    Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat.

      Hello,
      Thank you for the comment! Once you have removed the harness, there is a grey handle at the back of the headrest, squeeze that, and pull the headrest upwards

    • @carseatkat
      @carseatkat  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Yes you can use without the isofix in booster mode. For using in the front of your vehicle, you will need to check your car handbook to see if child seats are approved in the front 👍

  • @neelaparmar3444
    @neelaparmar3444 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can the 3 point harness still be used for the older child in the seat until they are 12 years old?

    • @carseatkat
      @carseatkat  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, the harness is outgrown at 18kg, which is around 4 years old. Some smaller children will not reach 18kg until they are older, so can continue using the harness - but it is outgrown at 18kg, and must then be used as a high back booster

    Really useful video - was able to do the adjustment to a high back booster, and get the covers off and put in the wash. Given this car seat a whole new lease of life! Would like to remove the harness straps as they're no longer needed and also stained - anybody got any advice about how to do this? (other than cut them off)

    • @carseatkat
      @carseatkat  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m glad it was helpful! The harness cannot be removed, so it would be a case of cutting the harness out. If you did need a harness at a later date, you may be able to send the seat to Britax for a new one to be installed. A few years ago this could be done for about £40 (not too sure nowadays).

  • @jennifercoleman4513
    @jennifercoleman4513 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What age would you normally do this?

    • @carseatkat
      @carseatkat  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s weight based primarily- you can use the 5 point harness until 18kg, or until the child doesn’t fit in it height wise with the harness on the highest setting. This is approximately age 4 - I wouldn’t really be wanting to put a child in a high back booster any younger than 4 if it could be avoided due to the development of their pelvis and also maturity for keeping the belt on safely
