Britax Regent needs a new cover, can I use one from a Husky?

[Meganisamom]

Title says it all, our Regent cover met with a horrid accident (stomach flu... ugh) and needs to be replaced- I have one from a Husky, but in the back of my mind I think I may have heard that I can't use it with the Regent?

Figured this was the place to ask since I can't get around to calling Brtiax until after they close. *sigh*

You can use a Regent cover on a Husky, but not a Husky cover on a Regent (because the Regent's top tether strap is positioned higher than the Husky's)

You can order covers directly through Britax

	Top-Tether A top tether (or top strap) is the supplemental attachment now standard on almost every new carseat in the USA. Top tethers can be used with either the seat belt or with the lower anchors (as part of the LATCH system). In other countries, their use may be required by law. A top-tether is simply a strap that connects the top of the carseat to an anchor mounted in the vehicle at a location behind the carseat, usually the parcel shelf or a point on the floor of the cargo area. It is designed to prevent the forward movement of the top of a forward-facing carseat in a frontal crash. This reduces the head excursion of the child, and can reduce the chances of injury. Almost all current carseats can only meet the tougher new federal safety standards when the tether is used, even though they must still meet the minimum safety standards without a tether.
