Thank you so much. I spent 2 hours reading the manual and was so confused. Your video helped tremendously. Now I can sleep tonight.
I don’t even try to read the instructions first I always come right to KZread and then look over the instructions. Thanks for your help!!

Terrible instructions. Waste of time to read this one.
Thank you! I couldn’t find any good tutorial until I found yours😂 Greetings from Mexico
Thank you so much for such a thorough video! You covered all the questions I had after reading the manual. We bought this car seat so we can use it for our grandson & we found the manual was somewhat confusing. Your video clearly explained everything we needed to know down to the cup holders.
Spent like an hour trying to figure it out, watched this video and got it in 10 minutes. Thank you!!

Literally figured it out within 5minutes of watching and trying it out. You’re doing the Lords work sir

This is, by far, the best tutorial for this seat. The worst part is I had to watch like 5 bad ones for yt to suggest this one. For some reason it didn't come up in my initial search.. Thank you! With the virus, finding face to face help has proven almost impossible, so having to install myself has been nerve wracking. This video helped me tremendously.

I, too, was losing my mind reading the directions. Thank you so much! Car seat installed, pending approval from my daughter and son-in-law!! :)
I watched like another 5 videos that were just confusing me . This video was perfect and I got it on my 1st try . THANK YOU
You helped me with my cobra clutch, and now with my new car seat. You are the man! 😊
Man thank you! I was about to cry and had to reschedule my appt but finally figured out how to adjust the straps🤦🏾♀️
My "babies" are 43 and 36 ... so i have no memory of doing any of this!!! Just bought this car seat for carrying my 17 month old grandson so that the "kids" don't have to move seat from one car to the other. :D This video was EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much.
Great video! Super simple to understand!
Thank you for such a detailed video. This is the perfect video for me!

just so you know, if you use the car seat belt on the rearfacing, you are supposed to "store" the latch system in the forward facing placement which is higher on the back and stored around on the latches on back.

@Tristen Krakie I dont know if this answers your question without re-watching the video to make sure what I was referencing, but in the manual, page 32/33 and page 42 (shows the storage of the belt using the orange path, and the clip for the top tether) shows the storage of the latch system

Would recommend using the latches OR using the seatbelt to keep the car seat secure what’s best?

@David Taylor both are secure and safety tested for this carseat. You can check your owners manual of you car for what they recommend as the safest option, and sometimes offer guidance to the safest seat placement. But, graco safety certified both the latch and the seat belt. I personally feel I get a tighter instalation with less movement when I use the latch but my car may be different
Excellent instructional video. Thank you ❤❤
Great video, thx
Great video thanks so much for the detailed and clear explanation
Best video I have seen and we were starting to get frustrated. Thank you VERY much :).
very informative, thank you.
Thanks buddy!! 👍
I don’t like the fact that head rest has no anchor .. Grab the top and pull it back towards the window ...just seems like there should be something that attaches to me since your already pulling the seat forward with the straps at the front .. My daughter has one and we were just out installing it .. I do like the fancy clips they have nowa days that’s pretty cool 👍🏻 And also they should of gave ya a little more belt because like you said you can’t tighten it from an angle and they don’t give you much room to pull straight up I think some women might struggle a little bit ... Baby fits good in the seat for sure packed in like a little sausage lol Good tip on laying something down ! Yours has a nice flat seat probably a little more stable... I remember back in the day loading up the car with 3 car seats what fun!! 😂 Thanks for the vid definitely gives insight!
Thanks for the tutorial!
Great Vid..... Thank you.
Read both the manufacturer's and the car manual. Confused and lacked details or too many details in one diagram. I didn't get it! Watched this video and "One-To-Three" Thank you Danny!!
Great video 👍🏻
how to make sure the bubble is in the blue line while in position number one? Or the bubble has to be in the blue line only while installing and later it can change?
Thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful! Just bought a car seat and thought no way it's that easy to install. Very helpful! Thanks again!
My buddy I was looking for this pretty simple with you
Thank you so much for this video I am a visual learner and this helped me so much
Wow thank you sooo much
Important note: always read the manual even after watching instructional KZread videos. Wanted to point out that according to the manual, if you're using the seat belt for rear facing, you need to move the latch strap up and through the slots for face forward. I assume they do not want the seat beat to go over the latch strap in the rear facing slot. There's a place to hook the latch straps in the back.
Thank you so much bro
Thank you 🙌🏼
Thank you for this, I went from a regular car seat to this, and the anchors confused the hell outta me (I’m a first time parent 💀💀)
Thank you so much! I recommend for all to use the seat belt method it seems more efficient and safer

Good work sir
The bubble moved once I anchored it really well lol
Thanks for this! I couldn’t figure out the correlation of the recline to the bubble level 😂 Now I got it set correctly! I used the handle of a hammer to pull the anchor belt as tight as I could. I’m in an Impala and trying to get in the car with the car seat and pull that strap was a pain! Also lucky you for having easy access anchor point in your car 😄 Mine are buried in the cushion 😩

You can’t use any tools to help tighten the latch system. This could make the latch over tightened which will cause the seat to not function correctly in a crash.
So simple and informative. Thank you!
What brand is the anchoring belt that you use, please? Does it come with the car seat? I am looking at the Graco all in one slim fit and see a couple of people install it using this belt.

Everything shown in this video was included with the car seat from Graco. I would imagine all of their seats should come with what you need to anchor it as far as straps

Ugh, I still don’t get it. Tried both the latch and the seat belt method but either way, I can slide it around when I pull from the top. Are you using a lot of force when you test wiggle it? Can you use the front seat to stabilize it?

The best tutorial for this carseat I've seen. Thank you!
Is that mat allowed in the manual?
So question!! In my car I only have the anchors behind the passenger and behind the driver the middle does NOT have the anchors. Could I still put the car seat in the middle with the seatbelt!!??
@dannyjohnsonsgarage
Жыл бұрын
Yes. Anchors are one form of securing the seat. Car seats are also designed to work without the anchor using the seat belt
I think the strap is taut in my car, but it's still moving around a lot at the base. My wife and I are thinking it's because we don't have the mat that yours does? Have you tried using the seat without the mat to see if it's just as secure? If the mat does make a difference, what mat are you using? Thanks!!

Are you using just the seat belt or the belt strap? This is like the Matt we have but in fear of it hurting the seats we haven’t used it without www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WGVJBXP/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=2004047-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07WGVJBXP&linkId=179d114bf5862cb049ab6eb256a2809e
Question: What do you do with the anchor on the back of the carseat when rear facing? Mine is kind of just dangling there. I noticed yours isn't. What can I/should I do?

Right up against the seat between where the child’s feet would be there is a pull strap that tightens the shoulder straps. If you put your thumb right there you will feel a small button you press on where that strap goes into the car seat. Push it and it releases

It's wedged between the back and the bottom of the seat of you do it right so there is little room for movement.

Same issue, depending on the angle of your seat nothing is stopping that from occurring and once that process starts the securing mechanism loses all tension. We used the front facing anchoring system to secure the rear of the seat to metal clips attached to the passengers seat, seems like a really faulty design.
cool!
So if we do the bottom anchors we need to do the back one as well?

That would be only for forward facing to my understanding. Consult your owners manual for what they recommend
Do you have to use the seatbelt as well as the anchors??

No, the manual says to only use one or the other. Not both
I see you installed the child seat in the middle. Is the child seat allowed to touch the back of the driver seat if one decides to install behind the driver seat?

As long as it’s not effecting the angle of the car seat it should be ok. The center is the safest place if possible, but some cars have captain chairs. Maybe the passenger side would be better and move the seat forward so it’s not touching at all. You don’t want it to rub and ruin your seat as well.
