Graco -who was it having buckle issues with me?

Sorry if this was already posted. I'm mobile and I can't search.

I was complaining about my Graco buckle a few months ago and some of you were having the same issue with it being hard to unlatch. Just saw it's on the recall list. I just ordered a new one. Do it here if you have one!

My car seat has the new buckle and I don't have any problems with it but mine is the convertible head wise 70. I feel like convertible seats in general are a PITA compared to convenience of carrier.

Me! I just got my new buckle in the mail today. I'm going to install it. It already feels much easier than the original.

I just ordered mine last week. I'm sure I will still hate the convertible seat though, I really struggle with tightening the straps. @JenR85 do you have issues getting your Headwise tight enough??

Received the new buckle yesterday and will install it when we can. They also sent us one for the infant seat. We haven't had any issues with it though.

I haven't had an issue tightening the straps because we leave them tight rather than loosening to take him out. That way I know that the straps are tight enough. I can see how it would be difficult to tighten when the seat is installed.
