    Doing a better job explaining this process better than the actual company. Thank you for this video

    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!

    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 🚙😍

      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

    Great Video!But works only for isofix variant? In non-isofix variant the car belt needs to be used to fix the child seat, so no way to use the non-isofix variant for kids above 15kg?

    • @carseatkat
      @carseatkat  29 днів тому

      Hi,
      This video applies to both versions of the seat - the installation and use for each one:
      Evolva belt fit only:
      9-18kg: child secured with harness. Seat installed with adult 3 point seatbelt.
      15-36kg: child secured with adult belt. The seat is not secured prior to use (the belt goes across both child and car seat securing both)
      Evolva SL (SL stands for soft latch isofix)
      9-18kg: child secured with harness
      Installation: seatbelt only, or seatbelt AND soft latch isofix.
      15-36kg: child secured with seatbelt.
      Installation: with or without soft latch isofix (adult belt goes across both child and seat)
      I hope that helps!

    • @grebuz
      @grebuz 29 днів тому

      @carseatkat thanks, I get it now! Was just thinking how secure it is for group 3 if the seat is not additionally fixed - basically the car seat belt is taking care of both child and securing the seat. But I hope it is secure also for group 3 that way, since I have a non-IsoFix variant (and thinking whether to buy a new one now for group 3)

    • @carseatkat
      @carseatkat  29 днів тому

      @@grebuz Hi, when the child is in the car seat it will be secure with belt only and safe to use. The main thing to consider/remember with non ISOFIX high back boosters is that they're loose when the child isn't using it. A non ISOFIX high back booster should always be strapped in when not in use to prevent it becoming a projectile in a crash.
      Non ISOFIX boosters are absolutely safe - I only use ISOFIX ones because I will not remember to strap it in when my eldest isn't using it!

    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  2 роки тому +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).

    Thanks that is a really helpful video. Do you know if it is safe and legal to use as a high back booster without the isofix, and also in the front seat of a car? Thanks

    • @carseatkat
      @carseatkat  4 роки тому

      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 👍

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

    • @carseatkat
      @carseatkat  4 роки тому

      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
