How to install a Graco Extend2Fit

Learn how to install a Graco Extend2Fit!

It's time to transition! Baby James is ready to graduate from his infant seat to a rear-facing convertible. Kirsten and Evan used our Convertible Car Seat Buying Kits to find the best car seat for their family, and then I put them to the test to unbox, install and use their new seat. Let's see if they can do it!

We have this seat (minus the anti rebound bar) and even though we’ve been using it for 2+ years, I still found the video helpful to make sure our little one is safe in her seat! Great content Michelle!!

Couples who can survive putting in a car seat together, stay together

Thank you, Michelle!! We're getting a Graco convertible seat on Friday so this was posted just in time. 👍🏼 I feel much more confident with the installing process after watching this!

Such a neat video! I love that you helped real parents make sure their kid was safe in the seat! So cool!

This video is so helpful! We have this verse at sans rebound bar, is it possible to purchase the rebound bar separately and add into the car seat after the fact?

Did this baby not have the infant insert in place? We just bought this exact car seat and have been googling to try and figure out if our 1 year old needs the head and bottom insert?

Hi! Do you have any video that talk about what’s the best location to put the buster seat? If behind driver/passenger seat or on the middle seat?

Do any of the extend 2 fit carseats have the opening in the rearfacing belt path to access that latch strap without having to pull down the cover?

How do you check the bubble? I mean you need a level ground, but driveways aren’t usually level. Suggestions?

I am struggling with if my 4 month old fits appropriately…I know you said the hip straps are different but his are on his legs not hips. Is that normal?

How do I know what recline position to use?

Thanks for this great video! We bought our graco extend2fit car seat 2 years ago when I was pregnant with my first. These things are obviously made to last, but watching this video, I saw some new features that our car seat doesn’t have since it’s a bit older (such as that anti rebound bar). My question is… would it be worth it/recommend to buy a new car seat to stay on top of the latest safety features even when the car seat we own is pretty new (2 yrs old) and not expired (or close to being expired)?

We have this seat and i feel like we need pool noodles? Baby looks uncomfortable even though correctly in the level indicator. Drive a car with bucket seats so there is an angle

They were too cheap to pay for a crash test without cup holders.
