I have a Cosco Alpha
Hi Andrea,
Your car seat has expired and may no longer be used safely. Please do not sell it or give it to another family.
How can I replace the harness
I'm not expert in these particular items, but as with all safety related equipment, if it designed to be a user replaceable part, it will be obvious how, easy to do it, and will likely have instruction stickers stuck on the device itself. It is never recommended to attempt to repair any safety device, particularly those parts of the device that is so intrinsic to it's safe operation, not to mention a device that protects something so precious :-)

Car seat has a crack
You need to replace the car seat immediately. The car set is no longer safe if there is a crack. If it is new, return it to wherever you bought it from. You should not purchase used car seats because you don't know if the car seat was in an accident. http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/car_seat_safety
Cosco Alpha Omega Elite can't get straps back on right!
replace harness:
1) take **** harness and place metel bracket through the base of the seat(slot in shell) make sure buckle is facing out and not inwards. slide metal clip under small tab and push down on clip until it snaps in and locks into place...
2) thread harness without latch plate or harness retainer down through slot on one side of shell, under seat and up through slot on other side.
3) thread latch plate(clip that goes into ****clip)harness retainer onto the harness making sure they are correct.
4) thread harness end through other slot
5) make sure the harness goes over the barbut under the plastic bar, then fit loops on harness ends onto the harness bracket that looks like a triangle(kind of)
6) from the front even up harness to fit properly.
And there you go the rest is pretty straight forward
the base is pretty sraight forward to attach...

When I took mine apart I did the following.
- Take many pictures of it first so you can see how it goes back together.
- Put all of the parts in a container so you don't lose any.
- Start by removing the screws on the headrests. There are four of them.
- Using a flat screwdriver on the left side and a pair of pliers on the right (as you are facing it) pull the metal rod from the hinge to the right. Make sure you don't damage the springs.
- The screwdriver can be used to gently pry the square metal strap anchor from the plastic holder. It is tight!
- Then fish the anchor through the seat and fabric.
- The shoulder straps have to go from the front through the fabric.
- There is a front clip that is located between the child's legs. I had to finesse the fabric cover around this.
I think that is all I did. We washed the cover in COLD water on delicate and soaked it overnight to get it clean. Hang dry!
