Oops! Forgot to say that the little fuggers had a one-way ticket.
They had eased the strap out of the larger part of the clip (the female part? Yeah, if it is wider in the middle, it must be. Right?) But we were unable to slip the same parts off the child extension belts and slide the buckles back onto the main pax belts.
Now, If you are gonna start talking about JAR Maintenance Regulations and s*** like that......
