    Thank you so much for this video! Huge help! I have a question about the height limits for the front straps for rear facing. My daughter is quite petite so only 20 pounds at 21 months so still rear facing. We tried this seat today for the first time and she kept saying “tight” so I think the straps were bugging her (I hadn’t even tightened them yet). You mention to only use that first (bottom) row of the upper section strap slots for a taller kid in rear facing. What height would be safe to use those slots? Thanks in advance!!

    Firstly, sorry this is such a late reply. You can use the highest of the slots that are designated for rear-facing until the child outgrows the seat it rear-facing mode. If you are in doubt at all, reach out to Evenflo's parentlink, their customer service is quite good!

    A car seat needs to not move at the point that it is secured to the vehicle, just like how a tree doesn't move at its roots but it's normal for the top of the tree to move.

    Did you use the actual car seat belt (seat belt of your van) to secure the car seat or just the harness straps?

    She used only the lower anchor attachments (part of the LATCH system). They are an alternative to the seatbelt, not to be used together. If you use the seatbelt instead of LATCH, you need to be sure that you read your vehicle owner's manual to understand your seatbelt's locking mechanism to secure the car seat.

    Do you need to cut the white plastic tether that’s on the anchor connection strap? It seems to pull the strap too much when trying to secure it in the rear-facing position.

    Hi Darcie. Absolutely not, it's required to remain in place. Its purpose is to make sure the UAS strap is never separated from the seat.

    The latch under the seat is that to have the Carseat more inclined? I have the same seat but the person who installed it didn’t put up the latch and I feel when my baby sleeps her head flops because the seat is upright where I feel like if it’s inclined she’ll have more of a laying down position which I would feel like she’ll be more comfy

    If you are using the Sonus in rear-facing mode, you MUST have the rear-facing foot out and the seat must be installed at the correct angle; the line etched on the side needs to be parallel with the ground.

    Recently bought this. I installed it and did the movement secureness test but I pushed on the base and up on the headrest. On the base there was barely any movement but on the headrest one push had the car seat tilting over very easily. Is this still considered secure? I know you said not to push on there but I already did and was shocked to see how easily it can be moved when pushing from the top

    I honestly can't give an answer without seeing it, but the correct place to check for movement is at the belt path as I show and as shown in the manual. When in doubt meet a CPST and/or contact customer service

    it might only be on one side and etched into the plastic on the side (in the video she has green painters tape so that it’s easier to see on camera but on the actual seat it should be there. It’s hard to see.
