Their motto is 'Britax - Safe for a Reason', perhaps it should be 'Britax - new designs and our email kept secret for a reason'. I would caution anyone thinking of a Britax Regent to think twice about purchasing it with this design flaw. Im sure they have not recalled all the seats out there in their distributors inventory to replace the harnbess with the new design and I consider the existing design flawed.

I'm going to STRONGLY disagree with you. The only reason they changed the design was b/c there were so many requests for the 2 audiable clicks. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the seat. I wouldn't have my children in any other seat other than Regents. The stability and secureness far exceeds a lot of seats that I deal with on an almost daily basis. They will not be recalling the buckle system b/c there is nothing wrong with it. Britax exceeds the minimum safety standards set forth in FMVSS 213. Not all carseat manfaucturers can say this.

IF you have such a strong concern regarding the seat, maybe you need to return it and look into a new seat.
