First time dad who can fix anything but can't confidently install a car seat for his baby. This video should be linked to Graco's user manual! Their manual works but, this video is the best hand-holding I've needed. Thank you.

[mbrady]

I read the directions 5X from Graco, and I still didn't understand it. A few minutes reviewing your video and now I understand how to install it safely. Thank you so much!!

I put the cup holders in and put my kiddo (10.5 months) in for the first time and first thing he did was pull the cup holder out to play with it ! lol I did not push them in enough to click. I keep coming back to the video to make sure I have alll the steps thanks so much yours are the best car seat videos!

[abbybourbon]

This is the BEST how to video out there. No nonsense - straight to the point. Thank you so much SITS!

You’re the goat of car seat instructions 🐐

[bookworm]

Thank you! I just bought this for my 9 month old, as he is too tall for his infant car seat (already around 30-31”), and when reading the manual it can be confusing! So glad I looked up a video demonstrating. Now I feel more confident about installing it in my Kia.

My one comment was for the cup holders- the manual says it’s easier to pull the cover away before clicking them into place, and I found this to be true!

Thank you, Michelle! It felt like I was reading Chinese when reviewing the manual. You explained everything so clearly and made it easy to understand.

Currently unboxing our Extend2Fit for my baby who turns 1 on Sunday. Our almost 4 year old is in the same seat and it’s worked well for us and we’re familiar with it. My toddler is petite, almost 30 pounds now, and my 1 year old is catching up to her quickly! We’re keeping them both rear-facing as long as possible. It stresses me out when I see all her little classmates forward-facing, I want to turn them all around and keep them safe!

[csuram]

Based on your car seat recommendation guide we bought this for our one year old when we moved him out of the infant seat - and we wish we had bought it for our first child 4 years ago!

[SaherGalt]

Your tip to pull up the shoulder belt portion only while pushing down the seat, so helpful! Saved the day for us. Thanks!

[ariellegalindo]

Thank you so much for this! We got this for my Dad's car and we had no clue when we were reading the manual last night at the airport! Thank you so much ❤

I’ve never related more to an instruction video. This video was super helpful and I got my car seat installed in no time. Love the little moments of struggling to get the straps tight enough 😂.

[MissKathyG]

Watched this video about 5 times just to still have to rewatch when I bought the seat. Thank you Michelle!!! We were about to give up on it 😅

[bcm]

Very helpful video. Could not get the anchors tight for anything until watching this video.

[JWinston]

This is the best video I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much, new mom here and I was so lost!

[davidtorres]

The written directions were hard to follow. Thank you so much for making the video.

We love our Graco e2f! We have a almost 4 year old, almost 40lbs (now using seat belt installation) and for our almost 2 year old, about 25lbs. They both got this once they grew out of their infant seats. All of our friends think it's 'crazy' our 4 year old is still rear-facing. Hoping to make it to kinder before forward facing! Thank you for all you do in educating us!!

[BariBabe]

Thank you for all the info!! Our 3 1/2 year old maxed out his current seat and we are looking for extended rear facing and this video helped us make our decision!!

[matthewsidilau]

Thank you so much for this video! Another first time dad who didn't even know the anchors existed in my car, so reading the manual was no help! Super helpful to actually see process and have it explained

[ellenpeterson]

Excellent video for a grandpa and grandma to follow. Thank you!
