No problem with install. This is the easiest car seat install I have ever done. My one year old loves it and doesn’t fuss at all while in it. Huge pro if you ask me.

We are newbies who have not used a car seat in quite a few years. Last night it took my teenage son and I about 5 mins to install this new car seat in the back seat of a pick up. My son is very tall which made everything easier. We put it in the middle seat position, forward facing. We used the tether strap and the vehicle's locking seat belt. He got inside and used all his weight to push down on the seat while he pulled tight on the seat belt. It was so simple and quick. I have not used the car seat yet, but I was adjusting the straps and the height of the headrest all very smoothly and easily. I cannot wait to use this for the first time. We are very, very happy with our purchase.
I am not sure how qualified you are to be doing these kind of reviews when you don't even know how to put the little pads on the shoulder straps. I can see they are put on backwards. Luckily I bought this car seat because I saw all the wonderful reviews on the store website saying how easy it was to install and use.

I have worked with several car seats and this is the only one I found that I can remove the cover from the seat without having to unbuckle it from my car or take off the safety tether so that I can wash the cover without having to totally disassemble it from my vehicle.

I need a video with the strap placement. I cannot get mine back together correctly

We love this car seat. I am able to install it myself. I click it in place then kneel on the chair and tighten. We have had it for 5 years and are finally using the booster seat feature. Surprised you had such a hard time on install. I guess everyone and all vehicles are different. So easy to wash!! I also like that it is hard to unbuckle. My other kids would unbuckle their Britax car seats while I was driving! I would have to pull over and buckle them back up. This one is sturdy and has been great!!

The most incredible seat that I've ever seen. All my family loves it

[datanpeterpan]

This review had me really worried about the install, but it was pretty easy to get a tight forward facing fit in my Rav4. I used the belt instead of the latch method. Just have to make sure you're using the seatbelt lock.

You hit the nail on the head! I've had this one since my son was out of the baby carrier seat. I love the seat for the comfort but hate the seat. Installation is the absolute worst and I cannot get it to fit properly!

[raynasmith]

I’ve had this seat for about 4 years. Everything you said, plus it tips very easily when doing a seatbelt install which makes me nervous to use it as a booster for me son. The head rest adjusters also rattle if they’re above the main shell of the seat.

Trick for getting it tightened with LATCH. Thread the pulling strap up through the car seat between the cup holder and the fabric on the inside part of the seat. This helped me pull straight up instead of out at an angle. You also have to put a fair bit of weight down on the seat.


I just got this for my son who’s 13 months. I was finally able to get it tightened. I had to do a bit of trickery because of the angle of the tightening action with the LATCH system. I have no idea how you can use this with a car’s seatbelt. His old car seat base was great, Graco, because it matched down the car’s seatbelt.

We’ll see how it goes and if mine loosens up too.

This car seat sucks when trying to get it installed. Wiggles around no matter what half the rime

[juliamondragon]

I didnt hv trouble installing as it was similar to one i had before. U hv to kneel a knee or 2 in seat to pull side latch tighter but still not 100 % tight but 95 %

[armantavakoli]

Yes this lady is right; installing this seat is not easy; it is hard to tighten the straps properly.

[candybigwood]

I live in NYC and don't have a car so I've installed this car seat in many cabs and cars with no issue. I can do it so easily it's really no problem. My issue is the recline. Putting it in position 1 for my toddler has it so upright he's leaning fwd so I keep it back and he's more comfortable.

[ibolagos]

I had no problems for install, we are really happy for choose this car seat

[AmandaLane]

I loved the carseat. My only complaint is I'm not transitioning to the booster and getting the straps out is proving difficult. But install in the vehicle was no problem. Use was no problem, etc.

[ashleyrider]

I LOVE mine! I’ve never used the latch’s because I have to take the seat out often but I have no problem reinstalling it. And I got this seat after my child Learned how the sit by himself so the level was no big deal for me. I have 0 issues with this seat and I highly recommend it! ☺️

[brittanykempf]

I’m having the same trouble with this car seat and I’ve had it almost two years. The straps are getting increasingly difficult to tighten and loosen, and when I try to install it with the seatbelt it tilts over. My child is nearing the weight limit for the latch system and I’ll have to figure out how to use the seatbelt installation, or buy a new seat. Very frustrating.

For a fast-growing toddler, what are some of the easiest straps to adjust? I'm a grandma who has an 8 yr old car seat that's been through 2 older boys as well. I'm ready for an upgrade, thought about getting a swivel seat to be easier on my bad back, but no one is talking about easily adjustable straps. Is there a rotational that also makes strap adjustment simple? If not, intuitive straps are more important. Thank you

I was finally able to get this installed on my own! Hope this helps somebody.
Forward-facing latch installation in 2006 Chrysler Town and Country
:

1.
Tilt the middle bench back.
2.
Tilt the driver or passenger seat forward, depending on where you are installing.
3.
Place the carseat in the corresponding seat in the middle bench.
4.
Push the carseat forward toward the back of the middle bench.
5.
Slide the part of the lower anchor belt that has the adjuster through the rear-facing belt path.
6.
Latch the end of the lower anchor belt that does NOT have the adjuster to the appropriate anchor hook.
7.
Now on the end of the lower anchor belt that DOES have the adjuster, tighten firmly and latch to the appropriate anchor hook.
8.
Take the slack/free end of the belt and pass it back through the rear-facing belt path. Pull to tighten.
9.
To continue tightening, place your knee/bodyweight to push the carseat down and continue to pull the belt to tighten.
10.
Once tightened, raise the middle bench back to normal upright position. The front of the carseat will be protruding into the back cushion of the middle bench.
11.
Try moving the carseat around, it should be secure.
