Have a Britax Elcipse Si for DD2 who is 14 months but 29lbs and long - she is too bigh for the straps on the lowest level - so tonight I have lugged it out the car taken the cover off - and fiddled but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to move the straps up a level
I seem to have misplaced the instructions - XH has her tomorrow and will need the seat - please help cannot deal with his sracastic comments if I leave it for him to sort out - am sure it must be simpler than it looks !!

You still there?

Close the harness, then pull it loose, to the loosest you can get it. At the back of the seat you should see a metal piece which the harness is attached to.
Remove the harness ONE STRAP AT A TIME!
Feed it through the next slot up and re-attach it to the metal bit.
Repeat with the other side.

I find its easier if you turn the yoke upside down then the straps just slip off.
Re-attach the same way.
Glad someone posted this as i've lost the instructions as well!
