Out of all the videos this has been the most helpful
This was super helpful, especially the trick to tighten the latch belt. Thank you!
I was hesitant to purchase an open box carseat but it came in excellent condition and saved $35. Box was damaged as stated before I purchased it, but the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIxQe7nPH74g_xtI5NgiE9-zpGNkfgovw car seat looks brand new and I don't think it was ever used. I will update of course if I have any issues with this carseat but I don't think I will. Also it is surprisingly lightweight, the handle feels secure unlike my previous EvenFlo that was gifted to us. Love it !
Pool noodle!! that's the key. drove me nuts why this doesn't recline correctly and I have tried all 3 vehicles we have in the garage. Thank you!
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much! 😊
Excellent presentation, many thanks!
I have watched a few of infant car seat installation videos. Not much helpful but I found this one the most solid! Thumbs up! 👍
Thank you.
Great video. Thank you!
I love this!
Very helpful. Thank you.
This video was a lifesaver, thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you for this. Had a car rental with this seat but given no instructions on how to install. I'm from UK and we have car seats that clip into a rigid iso fix base.
Very helpful!
Thanks for this video. 😊
You are welcome.

Thank you for the vid
Thank you so helpful
You are welcome.
Great Video. I also wonder how to loosen the strap/uninstall the seat. Thanks!
Basically, just follow the steps in reverse order. Add some weight/pressure to the seat to take the tension off the seatbelt or Lower anchors. Then detach. Some lower anchors will have a device on them that you flip over to loosen, some will have a button you push to loosen the webbing, check you car seat manual to be sure.
Thank you!
Can that plastic piece on the anchor strap be removed??
Thank you!!
You are welcome.
thank you so much
You are welcome.
Hi what do u do with the straps if u use a seatbelt instead? For rare facing. Thanks
Usually there are storage locations on the seat that the lower anchor connectors are stowed. Check your manual as it will likely tell you where they are placed when not used. If it does not, you can remove the lower anchors completely or just stow them as best you can as long as they don’t interfere with the seat belt system.
Thank you
You are welcome
I bought Evenflo Car Seat and My car is Hyundai Elantra 2017 Model. I am from India and I am facing hard time to install the seat. Do you have any video with Hyundai Elantra which helps me to install it easily
thanks!
You are welcome
You said 1 inch movement where the seatbelt is attached, but what about their head area of the car seat itself. When we pull that back-and-forth, it moves a lot. The bottom of the seat also shifts a few inches at the opposite end from seat belt. Is this ok? Thanks!
Yes, the seat will likely be able to move if you push/pull on it at the head (top) of the seat. You are basically creating a big lever so it will move easily. We want less than one inch of movement where the seatbelt (or lower anchor strap) runs through the belt path. Grab hold of the seat at this location on both sides of the seat. Push/pull side to side and front to back. If it moves more than 1", apply pressure to the seat and tighten.
If using a pool noodle/rolled towel, does the foot need to be touching the base of the seat and then the roll under the foot?
Hello! If you look at 6:53, you can see the pool noodle is under the foot of the car seat.This would be the same position as the towel roll.
This is dependent on the car seat manufacturers instruction. Some say the drop foot must be fully collapsed if using a rolled towel or noodle. Others allow for both. Check your manual or call the manufactures customer service line. However, in theory, you are correct. The rolled towel or noodle is placed in the bite (where the vehicle seat back meets the vehicle seat bottom) of the vehicle seat. The carrier base is then placed on top of the towel/noodle. Install as instructed with downward pressure and locking the seat belt or lower anchors. The seat should rest at a 35 to 45 degree angle recline (see the angle indicator on your seat). The car seat should not move more than one inch front to back or side to side when tested at the belt path.
Can the back of this car seat touch the back of the passenger seat? I’ve looked through the manual and didn’t find anything.
Typically this is acceptable. We do like to see clearance between the rear of the seat and the car seat. However, there are times these may touch. It is acceptable as long as the vehicle seat back does not push into the car seat and distort the angle.
