I have 2 Regents in a Tahoe and get GREAT fits---with one tiny exception..but that is a whole other post..LOL!

That is how Britax buckles are...until 2/2008! They just redesigned them to where they have the audible click for BOTH sides. Right now, the first one does not, but the second one does. I thought something was wrong with mine, but there isn't!

Here is an email that was just sent out to techs regarding the buckle:

Britax Buckle Design Changed

Based on caregiver feedback, beginning in February 2008, Britax will begin to transition all current convertibles and youth restraints to a new buckle design (the Companion is not affected by this change).

The new buckle design will provide two audible clicks - a positive click after inserting each buckle tongue. This will help the caregiver to confirm that each buckle tongue is secure.

Two visual identifiers will illustrate is the new buckle design:

The corners of the red release button on the new buckle will be square rather than the current rounded corner design
Metal will be visible in the webbing slots of the buckle tongues
Since the buckle and the harness work together as a system, beginning in February 2008 these two items will only be available as a set for warranty claims and consumer purchase. If replacement of one (harness with buckle tongues or the buckle) is needed, they will need to be replaced as a set. The new buckle and buckle tongues are not interchangeable.

	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers.
