[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my children were in a 5 pt harness in Kinder.  They only outgrew them late in K.  Then moved to HBB.  [b]They were able to do the buckle them selves[/b] so pick up and drop off was fine.  No issues.  Do what's best for your kid.[/quote]

I am always suspicious when people say this. In order for the harness to be tightened properly (no more than two fingers of room at the armpit) - the harness has to be loosened to clip, and then tightened after clipping. Every.Single.Time. There is no way a person (child or adult) has the right angle to tighten their own harness once they are already clipped in. So all these kids clipping themselves have straps that are too loose. At least the seatbelt is self-retracting. [/quote]

Huh? I don't know about your seats, but in mine it doesn't need to be adjusted every time. Pop it open without loosening, and put it right back on. Passes the pinch test. If you're loosening when you're opening then yes, you need to readjust when you buckle again. [/quote]
