    thank you so much for this video! I had such trouble installing this seat with just reading the directions, you helped a lot in just the first 4 mins! I had no idea why the teether straps were not long enough to connect to the latches.. I was loosing my mind! but it makes sense now the strap was in place for forward facing not rear as I need. thank you thank you !

    Hi! I have this car seat and can't install it with the seat belt properly, it moves side to side, I have a chevrolet colorado pick up truck and Im supposed to lock the seat belt with a clip, but I can't get tight enough... do you have any suggestions? Or video? Thanks!

    Happy I got this on sale. Love the color but most importantly the safety features. Easy to install. Comfortable for my child. Double cup holder is a plus! I will always get this car seat for my kids & it’s nice watching them grow with it since it’s 4 in 1.

    1. Children should rearface until they reach either the height or weight limit for rearfacing in car seat manual, (ideally until about 4 years old). Children's bones are still not hardened until around 4 years old, sometimes even later, and in the rearfacing position, the childs spine is cradled by the seat during impact. This is why it's best practice to rearface until one of the limits is reached. 2. A towel roll is allowed by the manufacturer to achieve a level install. DO NOT stuff a loose towel under the seat as shown in this video. the towel should be tightly rolled and taped in several places to keep it tight. It should be placed where the back rest and seat meet. 3. This seat is not a user-friendly install due to the base design causing leveling issues. For this reason, this seat is not on the recommended list by car seat techs. So, it's a good idea to have a carseat tech check for a correct instal, especially with this seat.

    Sorry you’re so upset. It’s worked great for me. And I think people are fully capable of reading directions and guidelines. Pleasure having you.

    This is not about you, it's about providing correct info to others watching the video. You're right to say people should read the whole manual.

    When you used it forward facing did it also tilt? I have one and as far as we can see it doesn't, 💁‍♂️

    You have to manually set it to the recline required for forward facing

    "rearfaces up to one year". Children should rearface for a *bare minimum* of 2 years. It's not about size, it's about bone maturity and ossification of the vertebrae to protect the spinal cord and prevent internal decapitation! Best practice is to rearface to the maximum limits of the seat's rearfacing abilities.
