According to Britax:
"Consumers can continue to safely use the seats while they await their free kit as long as they remove the chest clip or monitor the center tab of the chest clip for signs of breakage. The chest clip is not a required safety device: it is added to the harness system to help position the shoulder straps.
Always ensure that the harness straps are properly positioned at or slightly below the child’s shoulders and that the webbing cannot be vertically pinched at the child’s collar bone.
We are taking proactive steps to honor our mission of protecting children on the road and providing peace of mind to the families who depend on us. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
