THANK YOU to every person who suggested sitting in the seat to get the last bit of slack out of the belt. It is tight as a drum now! I feel much better about the install than I did when I started this process an HOUR ago.

Man being new to this dad thing is a little hard

[GantSports]

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

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!

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.

[Speckled_Butterfly]

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.

If hell existed it would be installing this for eternity

[bethanysorrell]

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

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.

[tomtom-byrs]

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.

[BrightSwordBros]

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.

[oxlopez]

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.

[REspawnPLS]

I’ve done EXACTLY as the directions and this video have shown and this car seat is still very loose. I’m starting to think this is just a bad product from a cheap company

[wcking]

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

[RachelRodriguez]

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

[sirholmes]

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.

[vixenday]

This answered all my questions. Thank you.

[rachelvandyke]

Had to literally sit in the car seat and pull to even come close to the right tightness. God bless to all the men out there doing this. Can't imagine my husband squishing into this seat to tighten the dang thing.

[kizzyken]

Wow..watching this was much better than the sucky owners manual

[itsGINA]

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
