This car seat sucks it's not you trust me

Please read this before you ship this car seat back ..first off everyone is right..this car seat is difficult to tighten up to the car ..this video doesn’t help with tighten the straps .. I couldn’t do it all..no matter what I did it was loose , bending to the side or wiggle..let me tell you ..I got a male friend with muscles to do it and it’s tight AF…no wiggle at all…not even a little ..I’m shocked bc I don’t it was impossible !!! So I will describe this as best as possible …do not pull the strap from the very end of it …pull the strap from the bottom close to the car seat …all the way at the bottom by the adjuster ..pull up like str8 up from the bottom bottom while pressing down on the car seat …hope this works ..if not get a strong man to do it ..this is actually a good car seat …I love it ! But I was like you frustrated AF! Looking for the label to ship it bk …don’t !!! Try my method or get a man to do it …hope it works!

I just installed mine today. It’s a situation where you really have to push down hard. I had my wife pull the strap, while I pushed down on the car seat. It made it a lot tighter

I had my dad help me it’s the key to getting the seat in tight

Yeah, I knoticed putting mine was loose too until I stood up in the car and used both my hand and knee to hold it down and in place to get it to tighten properly. I haven't tested in driving yet but I will tomorrow before work around my neighborhood.

What worked for me for tightening was putting the recliner on 3 (the first step they show on this video). When it was on the default level 1 I could barely tighten it, but once it went to 3, it was very easy to tighten it.

At first when I did this it was super loose, I did it just like the video..crap. but I got it to work by leaving one side latched then tightening the belt all way then I sat in car seat ( weigh it down) then applied the other latch. Not budging now

If hell existed it would be installing this for eternity

This answered all my questions. Thank you.

As KevGrand13 mentioned several months ago...run the slack end of the strap up through the hole where the cup holder would be sitting. Made a world of difference for me.

1:47 What this video fails to mention is that you have to push down REALLY hard on the seat in order to get a secure fit. It also helps if you have someone else give you a hand . And also if you remove the left cup holder and pull the latch belt through it makes it easier to pull straight up.

THHHAAANNNKKK YOU for the idea about removing the cup holder and running the slack end of the strap up through the hole. It worked for me, I owe you a beer.

So many people were having a hard time tightening the car seat. I saw how to fix that but has anyone been in a wreck with this car seat? How did it do?

I have one and ive found its always a pain no matter the brand to install these but all i have to do with this one is basically sit in it and ill pull with.l all ive got or my husband will and its tight enough...quite the workout though lol

Got it super tight on my first try. If you’ve pulled it the way she does, try pulling it more towards the belt path instead of up

I need to take the seat out to accommodate a passenger-any easy way to disconnect the two latches?

Can I remove the car seat cover to wash ?

I want the inner alone. Where can i get it?

When converted to booster mode, what is the safest installation? Can it just be tethered and then secure my child in with the seatbelt? Does it have to be latch installed when using the car seatbelt? I can’t find an answer to this anywhere!

According to the manual, you do not use the LATCH system when using as a booster seat. It says to secure the lower anchor belt and tether strap to their storage locations. Seems like you'd just place the booster seat flush against the vehicle seat back, and then use the car's seat belt to buckle your child in. That's what I'm getting from the video and manual. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Super helpful. Thanks!

Use your non dominant hand and check at the belt path, that goes for any seat. You should see less then an inch of movement

One or the other. Not both. 😉

It fails to mention how the latch thingy has 2 latches, how are they supposed to go to both side seat hooks

This comes with 2 latches. Do you use both, ( one in the under carriage and one on the back of the seat) and use both latch hooks in the car or just one. This video only shows one being used.

@@juritzihernandez best thing to do is take it to the fire department they have classes. But for these bro, I realized you do the back strap to secure the seat to the back of the car seat. Then just do the seat belt through the seat belt pass. Pull the seat belt out all the way and let it go a little until you hear a little click, then you know you’re good. Then slide it through the path and click it in. Then while standing outside pull the seat belt towards you. You will hear it like click and then let it go. What’s happening is the belt is being pulled back into its receptacle. You will notice once you do it right the seat is so firm you can’t move it

Forward facing right now for my child. Hope this makes sense

Everyone has said it but it seems you have to thread the loose end of the lower latch belt back through the car seat to even have a shot of tightening it down. I recommend having one person push down on the seat while the other person tightens by pulling on the loose end after it’s threaded back on itself. Once we tried that, it definitely tightened to the right point.

if you aren't strong enough to get the seat tight use a ratchet strap to get it down then slide your belt through once you get the car seat tight remove the ratchet strap

Here to figure out why too much sway in front facing with belt system. I will switch to front facing with latch system.

I initially had problems tightening the seat using the car’s seatbelt but I found this video and saw how the latch belt worked and used it. You have to push down hard on the seat as you tighten the belt but it worked. There is hardly any movement at all.

I have done this exactly as this video shows. However, unless I am installing it in a vehicle that has adjustable seat backs I cannot get it right. Your video makes it look like it’s easy to tighten the strap but it isn’t. My husband who used to be a police officer who was certified in child safety seat installation cannot pull the strap to tighten it. So now our car seat is just floppy and moves every time I go around a corner. Did I get a defective product?

I have the same question. Do you still use the top strap in booster mode?

When installed there seems to be a lot of play at the front of the carseat (rear facing) when installed. There is little to no movement near the back by the anchor points. Also, how do I keep the carseat (rear facing) from flipping forward towards the vehicle seat?

Use the anchors. But when tightening, lift up the fabric to thread the strap under the cup holder where the belt path is then pull it hard towards you. You can get it very tight and snug. Every other method it’s loose.

This car seat is trash. I’m doing rearface and I tightened it as tight as it goes and you can still move the car seat with no issues. It moves around all over the place. Don’t buy this car seat. Its trash. Their rear view is not secure. I tried it with the seatbelt and the clamps and tightened it tight asf. There should be secure on the back too not just put a strap through the front of the car seat. The only reason it’s not moving in this video is because she has sunk in seats that sink it into place. 0/5

So what happens if you do the anchor and the seat belt 😅

quick guide when in hurry: to tighten baby/toddler's seat belt is to pull on long flat cord in front of the chair @5:30 to loosen baby/toddler's seatbelt: theres a button in front of the buckle's hole is theres a secondary hole open it up and you will see a text in it.... i got tired of trying to find a way to loosen the belt and happened to see it in the hole lol finally got it to loosen. i too had trouble to get the whole seat to stay still... kind of scary honestly...

They must have updated the manual because loading the car seat into the kzread.infoUgkxIG_q-ZqgbzYXwbeApK3AybegDUy4f2fF double stroller was mentioned in the manual (unlike previous comments/reviews). The undercarriage basket is quite large but it is difficult to access when the back rider is reclined, however my toddler usually doesn't fall asleep in the stroller these days so I haven't had an issue. I was amazed by how smooth the ride was and how easily I was able to maneuver the stroller in small spaces. My toddler loves that she can see her baby sister (see photo) during the ride :) Plus you can't beat the price! I have only loaded it once in my car and it is fairly light but my mother wouldn't be able to lift it in.

Like everyone else here, I struggled to get this thing tight enough! My husband pulled the straps while I sat in the seat; no dice. I finally tried loosely installing the back hook, then reclining the actual seat of the car just slightly, then threading the lower latch belt through; connecting it to one side and tightening it as much as possible before connecting it to the other side. Still loose. THEN I raised the seat of the car up a bit, and it finally tightened! Honestly though, I’d just suggest a different brand. Our Chicco car seats have always worked great, and weren’t such a pain to install. I’ve bought other Safety 1st products and I wouldn’t recommend those either. IMHO, avoid this brand

We have 2 in each of our cars. We got them tight enough but the effort the individual in this video shows to tighten the seat is laughable. Easiest way to do this is take the cover off of the front part and pull the belt tight. I'm a big guy and it is still hard for me.

This tutorial is very vague, she doesn't show us with detail where to loose the straps, I know where it is beacuse I saw another video and the guy show very closely where the button is to loosen up the straps.

Just got this car seat and it is straight up trash. I recommend to return it if you can I sadly threw my box out. I’m surprised this is not recalled just dangerous!!

On several occasions when I’ve made a turn my child will fill on his side. I don’t understand I followed this video to a tee.

We bought this car seat as both wife and i have our own cars. The first car seat we have is a “Nuna Rava” although they are pricey i think it well worth the money! It feels and looks way sturdier than the safety 1st one. I hate that even after following all the instructions on the video the car seat is still very loose. For future parents please read reviews, watch videos, go to stores and touch and experiment with the car seats displays because after having a good quality one (nuna) and a cheap one (safety 1st) there really is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the quality! At the end of the day its for the safety of our babies and i think its well worth spending more money and having that sense of security.

People who cannot install this seat tightly are either idiots/do not understand the basic concept of leverage or pathetically weak. You can remove a cover and thread the belt through the seat to tighten, also push down on the seat if you aren't very strong. If you drive on the left (like we do) the safest seat in the car switches to the left rear seat, yet the straps do not change, which means I had to install the seat from the middle of the car instead of the doorwell. Despite this, it was still easy as hell. So yeah, ignore the yanks. the seat is fine.
