You are the only person who explained that the anchor strap needs to side up to the front facing holes! Thank you so much! You saved my night and my sanity! 🤘🏻❤️
Man, I spent like 20 minutes looking at this car seat trying to pry off the metal bar to pull the grey belt out. Thank for posting! You saved me a ton of time and frustration!
This was by far the best detailed explanation of a child car seat I've seen anywhere thank you! I took our Granddaughters car seat out and discovered we have had it installed wrong and now it fits much better and tighter!
Thank you! I turned my son's car seat around and used the seatbelt but didn't love it. I just followed your instructions for the strap and loved how tight and secure it got the carseat. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for your video and step by step help. I bought these for my grandchild (one for us, one for out Son) and I have to tell you the instructions are not as instructional as this video. I followed your steps for facing forward using the latch and it came out perfect. She was getting a little big for backward facing. After struggling for a bit trying to secure if forward facing, I gave up and looked for a TH-cam video. Yours is the best one I’ve come across! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
This description is perfect! For a long time now I have been trying to fix my child’s car seat forward but it’s completely confusing not on till I came across this video and the job is all perfectly done. Thank you so much!
I've been looking for some time now for a video like this. My two year old son is having trouble with the piece that's between his legs for a while now, and both my husband and I didn't know what to do. Thank you so much for this video
I followed this video exactly and was able to switch my car seat from rear to forward facing! I double checked my work against the manual and know she will be safe in her seat!
Thank you so much for making this video. What a tremendous help to busy parents! I feel loads more confident that my child is now safe and comfortable in the new appropriate position.
Thank you so much for this video! Took me 10 min if that to reposition my child's car seat today vs. struggling for an hour with it and then throwing it to the curb 😆
Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat
Omg. Thank you for the last disclaimer. I was like am I supposed to use both the latch AND seatbelt?!? Lol drove myself crazy. I like the latch better! Awesome video. Helped me a lot!
Thank you so much for the great explanation of using one or the other for the seat belt and for the entire car seat explanation . by far you made it so easy.
Thanks so much for this really detailed and well videoed installation of the car seat, forward facing using the UAS. The manual is clear as mud! I also was pleased to hear your comments about not using both UAS and seat belt, which I would have done. Thank you from this Nana of a 2 year old!
Thank you so much!! Iv made it to 4 years rear facing mostly due to my son is still 30 lbs and it said i could wait till 50 to turn it. However my baby is growing tall as opposed to thickness and he's getting uncomfortable rear facing. I don't want him on a long trip and his tummy hurting or something so I'm gonna try forward facing today
Thanks, i wasn't going to look at this as i thought i just needed to turn it around.... glad something told me to check. Also didn't know about the bottom buckle being moved forward!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I dread changing the car seat, but it was time to adjust for my 2 year old daughter’s height/weight requirement. You made it so easy to follow thank you!!😊✨
Great video, helped me out a tons just now. Trying to read the manual was very intimidating and I was SUPER confused on how to relocate the buckle but this cleared things up!
Thank you for taking the time to film this very simple, easy to understand, and to the point video. You have no idea how youve simplified this step for me! This is the second time I've used this video. I have two little ones, and I just switched over the youngest. I just wanted to drop a comment to show my appreciation. Thanks again!
Thanks so much. I don’t even have this kind of booster seat but you are the only person I could find on TH-cam after searching for nearly an hour hoe properly shows where to but the top latch. I couldn’t find it out for anything. Very helpful and thorough. Thanks again
Great video! Appreciate the details that you showed. I speak for all parents I think when I say...why do they make these things sooooo f'n difficult to install?!! No where in their 100 pages of instructions do they show or say how to move the strap to the back for forward face position.. ridiculous Graco!
Thanks! This is exactly the car seat my brother has for my niece and I'm picking her up from daycare and he's leaving the car seat for me to install in my car! I'm nervous, but this helps!
I noticed you said 2 OR 22 pounds. Children need to rear face till 2 even if they are already 22 pounds :) Ideally children should rear face till they max out of the rear facing height and weight as long as they are over 2. Very informative and well made video
You are incorrect. Via the doctors office and local fire departments here in Washington state once they are 22lbs and a certain height its recommended to forward face them. My son is 34” tall at 18 months at 28lbs its no longer safe for him to rear face as he could break his pelvic floor if in an accident.
@@laithal-mansuri9003 I am a CPST, you are incorrect. Doctors are almost never up to date with current national highway safety standards. If at all. And not all fire departments are clear on car seat safety either; only CPST’s. There are lots of car seats on the market to accompany children of higher weights and heights; at 18 months a child’s bones are not fused completely. Internal decapitation is at an incredibly high risk for a child that young. When measuring for height put your child’s bottom on the floor and measure his bottom to top of his head for car seat height limits. Graco extend2fit I’d a favorite due to its high rear facing limits of 50 pounds and 49 inches, which even for a 99 percentile child is an average of 5 years old. Never listen to pediatricians for car seat technician related inquiries. And just because it’s a fire station does not mean they’re car seat certified. Also, there is absolutely no evidence that rear facing till you max out the seat limits causes pelvic floor injury? As long as the seat is used within the limits and the crotch buckle is properly placed your child’s pelvic floor will remain comfortable and unharmed. I’d find a new pediatrician ASAP.
@@davidtaylor606 yes sir, keep her rear facing as long as possible. Max out the height and weight limits for rear facing on your carseat. (Weight wise depending on your seat between 40-50 pounds.) :)
Thanks for the video! We are about to go on a road trip and my son is getting switched forward facing. Washing the seat covers today. We love our Graco 4Ever!
This was so much easier than the manual thank you so much but before returning it , do you know if the base comes off? If it does not I want to return it .
Wow!!!!!! Followed this video exactly and installed the seat by myself without my husbands help! Thank you for sharing! This video was precise and to the point!!!
To get that latch strap up the metal bar so it lays flat you have to remove the seat back padding to get to the Belt Lock off and you can easily move the latch strap up. I found a TH-cam installation video on an older model to explain this no one else mentions it.
Thank you very much for the video, very useful. I think I have a new version since it has an extra step securing the belt with a built-in lock below the head rest back flap. That helped me with the
Hello thanks you for the video. Is this car sit have to stay just in the car or can I use it also for a new born baby with a graco stroller? It seems like there is not system to carry baby inside with hand🤔 just want to be sure I make a rigth choice before I buy it thanks
This one stays in the car full time. There is another one offered that also fits in the stroller. I also have it and it was good th-cam.com/video/usr7D-5D4ZI/w-d-xo.html
That is a good question and even my child’s head goes forward when asleep, but all I can say is that it’s not intended to be out of range for safety, so I don’t know the answer.
You are the only person who explained that the anchor strap needs to side up to the front facing holes! Thank you so much! You saved my night and my sanity! 🤘🏻❤️
You dont use the latch straps if the child is over 45.

This video is far more helpful than the stuff Graco puts out. Thank you !
This post helped me switch to forward facing car seats. And it cleared up my eczema! You are a miracle worker!
Why do they make these things so difficult!? Thanks for the help.
Seriously. No inanimate object has ever frustrated me more than my son's car seat. 😖
@@ew7512 I have twins and I hate those car seats, trash...
Agreed! Not easy to install at all.
It’s literally another branch of rocket science but he made it easy
Dude yeah the instruction manual is fuckin BS i hate reading thanks a lot to this man for the help!
Thank you! I turned my son's car seat around and used the seatbelt but didn't love it. I just followed your instructions for the strap and loved how tight and secure it got the carseat. Thank you again!
Spent hours looking at other and the official graco yb page this guy cleared my questions in less than two minutes
Just here to also express my gratitude since the manual was nowhere near as helpful as this 😂. Much appreciated!

Thank you! Your video should be adopted by Graco’s website
Thank you so much! I have the exact car seat and looked at about 4 other videos before I found yours! Thank you again!!!
Really appreciate it, I couldn’t figure out how to get the anchor straps up
I've been looking for some time now for a video like this. My two year old son is having trouble with the piece that's between his legs for a while now, and both my husband and I didn't know what to do. Thank you so much for this video
Ooooh my god….
My child’s car seat has been wrong this entire time!! Thank you soooo much for this!!
We had lost our manual so we appreciate you generously putting this video together.
Wow! Come to find out I've been installing the car seat all wrong! Thank you so much. This was an excellent tutorial!
Thanks! Manual didn’t show how to transfer the tether strap. Best instructional/to the point video I’ve seen.
If straight forward instructions were a person. Thank you, seriously thank you
This helps a lot man, I spent 20 minutes looking at the manual, and I had no clue how to get the latch to the back .
I was thinking to return this car seat, After I watch this video I change my mind.You help me, God will help you....!Thank you so much...👨👩👧💖
Thank you sir. This is better than the actual video from Graco.
thank you!!! It took me about 45 mins of getting mad to literally 5 mins with this video to help me get it correctly!!
My husband spent a good 1.5 hours only to put the seat back to rear facing 🤦🏻♀️
I followed this video exactly and was able to switch my car seat from rear to forward facing! I double checked my work against the manual and know she will be safe in her seat!

The BEST‼️ demonstration I have seen to date. Thank you so much‼️
This was so helpful to move the seatbelt latch up and back for thr forward facing. I was doing the car seatbelt through the bottom.
Omg. Thank you for the last disclaimer. I was like am I supposed to use both the latch AND seatbelt?!? Lol drove myself crazy. I like the latch better! Awesome video. Helped me a lot!
Baby girl is getting bigger. Thanks for helping me switch the seat from rear to front facing!

Omg this video is a blessing
Thank you sooooo muchhhh for all the help
The manual is useless doesn’t tell how to install
Thank you so much for this vlog, I was able to follow along and properly install my baby seat correctly.
Thank you so much man I appreciate this video so much as a single dad this definitely came in handy thank you thank you thank you

Thanks for making this, the manual gave me migraine !

Best video! Thank you for explaining the metal bar.
Came here for car seat info, but I got distracted by the screaming yellow terminator in the garage. Nice!
You have no idea how helpful this was! Thx!
Nice video, nice editing, good explanation, good job!
Great video! Thanks! I should have watched this before I wasted 10 minutes figuring out 90% of it lol. Appreciate that last 10%! Cheerz!

Wow thank you so much for explaining so clearly! Really appreciate your help!😊💯
Thank you very much, great walk through, well done sir.
Very helpful and clear instructions. Thank you for this video.
This is amazing!! Thank you!! I did exactly what you said and I feel comfortable but it does move a little love than an inch
It is kind of difficult to achieve it. I found if I pretty much kneel down in the seat as I pull down on the straps it seems to get it tight

Thank you fir your step by step instructions! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much for this.. I took the seat inside and put all the straps in place because I would have lost my mind doing it in the car 😂
Way better than the graco video thank you
Awesome video. Saved me soooooo much aggravation
Dude you are the GOAT
