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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Yea no tightness issue for me, and I did without pushing it down. But I'll try that method since the head part moves when I turn corners, but the seat itself is steady.
Theres a hidden silver button under one of the slots on the bottom part of the seat, push it down and pull the straps. You can’t see it but feel around I think it was the first slot
1:47 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.
THHHAAANNNKKK YOU for the idea about removing the cup holder and running the slack end of the strap up through the hole. It worked for me, I owe you a beer.
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.
@@Isabelle-xj6re that’s so strange. I’ve pulled and yanked on that thing like crazy and the anchors have got to be 10x more secure. It’s impossible to make it secure with the seat belt I just don’t get it.
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.
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
So many people were having a hard time tightening the car seat. I saw how to fix that but has anyone been in a wreck with this car seat? How did it do?
This comes with 2 latches. Do you use both, ( one in the under carriage and one on the back of the seat) and use both latch hooks in the car or just one. This video only shows one being used.
@@juritzihernandez best thing to do is take it to the fire department they have classes. But for these bro, I realized you do the back strap to secure the seat to the back of the car seat. Then just do the seat belt through the seat belt pass. Pull the seat belt out all the way and let it go a little until you hear a little click, then you know you’re good. Then slide it through the path and click it in. Then while standing outside pull the seat belt towards you. You will hear it like click and then let it go. What’s happening is the belt is being pulled back into its receptacle. You will notice once you do it right the seat is so firm you can’t move it
I found this video to figure out the booster seat mode and whether or not to still use the safety latches to anchor the seat to the car, but they didn't say anything. Does anyone know? Hard to believe this heavy seat is just supposed to stay in place with the lap belt alone.
I have done this exactly as this video shows. However, unless I am installing it in a vehicle that has adjustable seat backs I cannot get it right. Your video makes it look like it’s easy to tighten the strap but it isn’t. My husband who used to be a police officer who was certified in child safety seat installation cannot pull the strap to tighten it. So now our car seat is just floppy and moves every time I go around a corner. Did I get a defective product?
Me pasó exactamente lo mismo, ese producto no sirve, tengo que cambiarlo por una Graco. Mi niña cayó de costado cuando gire y ahora tiene trauma de sentarse en el!
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.
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 thought 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!
When converted to booster mode, what is the safest installation? Can it just be tethered and then secure my child in with the seatbelt? Does it have to be latch installed when using the car seatbelt? I can’t find an answer to this anywhere!
According to the manual, you do not use the LATCH system when using as a booster seat. It says to secure the lower anchor belt and tether strap to their storage locations. Seems like you'd just place the booster seat flush against the vehicle seat back, and then use the car's seat belt to buckle your child in. That's what I'm getting from the video and manual. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
quick guide when in hurry: to tighten baby/toddler's seat belt is to pull on long flat cord in front of the chair @5:30 to loosen baby/toddler's seatbelt: theres a button in front of the buckle's hole is theres a secondary hole open it up and you will see a text in it.... i got tired of trying to find a way to loosen the belt and happened to see it in the hole lol finally got it to loosen. i too had trouble to get the whole seat to stay still... kind of scary honestly...
How much force should I use to test for movement? When I use the force of the lady in the video it barely moves about to mimic a crash it flies everywhere but still attacked of course
When installed there seems to be a lot of play at the front of the carseat (rear facing) when installed. There is little to no movement near the back by the anchor points. Also, how do I keep the carseat (rear facing) from flipping forward towards the vehicle seat?
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
When my son falls asleep he completely slumps forward. He’s 1 year old and we have it set up just as it should be…this didn’t happen in his infant seat. It has me freaked out
I’m having the same problem… my one year old slumps forward when he is asleep and I have gone over the manual several times and is what has actually brought me here to this video to find out whether I am the only one with this issue. Never happened with my Doona. Please help
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.
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
it also might not be the best car seat for your vehicle. some car seats just don't fit right in certain cars. i would find a local CPST to help you isntall the seat

I have a Nuna executive in our SUV that costs about $800. I purchased this carseat as an extra when my parents or siblings want to take my toddler out. This carseat is terrible compared to the Nina. it doesn't seem safe. There should be a locking mechanism that smashes the seatbelt into the carseat. It makes me really sad that people who can't afford the $800 carseat are stuck with this crap. It's dangerous. It's not fair.
I had this car seat installed by a certified professional, and it's not about the price. She also told me about the right way to clean it without removing the fire retardant.
Yo creo que es un mal producto, hize lo mismo y está nuevo, sin embargo cuando giro curvas mi niña casi se voltea con todo y el asiento. Tengo a mi otro bebé en un graco y no me sucede eso. Muy mal producto
@@yalitzauyaguari450 I ended up making an appointment with my local fire department because I just can't figure it out.. otherwise I'm just going to return it
@@ellenfloriani50 I took it to my local fire department. They installed mine with the anchors instead of the seat belt but what I noticed is she pressed her hand down on the car seat with a lot of force then she pulled the strap as tight as she could.. I just hope I don't have to take it off because idk if I will be able to install it on my own 😖
Just got this car seat and it is straight up trash. I recommend to return it if you can I sadly threw my box out. I’m surprised this is not recalled just dangerous!!
Like everyone else here, I struggled to get this thing tight enough! My husband pulled the straps while I sat in the seat; no dice. I finally tried loosely installing the back hook, then reclining the actual seat of the car just slightly, then threading the lower latch belt through; connecting it to one side and tightening it as much as possible before connecting it to the other side. Still loose. THEN I raised the seat of the car up a bit, and it finally tightened! Honestly though, I’d just suggest a different brand. Our Chicco car seats have always worked great, and weren’t such a pain to install. I’ve bought other Safety 1st products and I wouldn’t recommend those either. IMHO, avoid this brand
I find it funny the video lapses in rear facing install from when she tightens it to when she wiggles it. It was definitely not tight enough when she first pulls it and suddenly is tight after the video lapse.
This car seat is trash. I’m doing rearface and I tightened it as tight as it goes and you can still move the car seat with no issues. It moves around all over the place. Don’t buy this car seat. Its trash. Their rear view is not secure. I tried it with the seatbelt and the clamps and tightened it tight asf. There should be secure on the back too not just put a strap through the front of the car seat. The only reason it’s not moving in this video is because she has sunk in seats that sink it into place. 0/5
Does anyone know how to get a refund? We got this at our baby shower. We spent about 2 hours in the heat trying to install this. One of the straps is not long enough and the end result is a seat that can easily move.
Something I noticed with this car seat is if your back seat reclines make sure you have it at the most upright position at least for forward facing cuz it’s definitely going to be harder to tighten. Otherwise I haven’t had any issues with installing and removing this car seat
They must have updated the manual because loading the car seat into the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIG_q-ZqgbzYXwbeApK3AybegDUy4f2fF double stroller was mentioned in the manual (unlike previous comments/reviews). The undercarriage basket is quite large but it is difficult to access when the back rider is reclined, however my toddler usually doesn't fall asleep in the stroller these days so I haven't had an issue. I was amazed by how smooth the ride was and how easily I was able to maneuver the stroller in small spaces. My toddler loves that she can see her baby sister (see photo) during the ride :) Plus you can't beat the price! I have only loaded it once in my car and it is fairly light but my mother wouldn't be able to lift it in.
READ THIS! There is nothing wrong with this seat. I was watching this as a basic tutorial rather than reading the manual for installation. I then read all the comments here and thought I made a mistake buying this seat. Then I remembered I was schooled in NZ and not the USA and was able to install the seat with no issues. People who cannot install this seat tightly are either idiots/do not understand the basic concept of leverage or pathetically weak. You can remove a cover and thread the belt through the seat to tighten, also push down on the seat if you aren't very strong. If you drive on the left (like we do) the safest seat in the car switches to the left rear seat, yet the straps do not change, which means I had to install the seat from the middle of the car instead of the doorwell. Despite this, it was still easy as hell. So yeah, ignore the yanks. the seat is fine.
I just got mine but it hasn’t come yet. Came to watch the video and freaked out with the comments, though i made a mistake as well. I’m staying with this comment. Thank you 🫶🏻
This tutorial is very vague, she doesn't show us with detail where to loose the straps, I know where it is beacuse I saw another video and the guy show very closely where the button is to loosen up the straps.
We bought this car seat as both wife and i have our own cars. The first car seat we have is a “Nuna Rava” although they are pricey i think it well worth the money! It feels and looks way sturdier than the safety 1st one. I hate that even after following all the instructions on the video the car seat is still very loose. For future parents please read reviews, watch videos, go to stores and touch and experiment with the car seats displays because after having a good quality one (nuna) and a cheap one (safety 1st) there really is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the quality! At the end of the day its for the safety of our babies and i think its well worth spending more money and having that sense of security.
Honestly...this car seat is junk. I'm returning it and buying a safer one. I bought this after the good reviews but idk how it's rated so high. It's incredibly loose in every position. This is unsafe.
I have been using this car seat with my daughter for almost 3 years and we recently got into a car accident while using the car seat and she was the only one who had no injuries.
We have 2 in each of our cars. We got them tight enough but the effort the individual in this video shows to tighten the seat is laughable. Easiest way to do this is take the cover off of the front part and pull the belt tight. I'm a big guy and it is still hard for me.
POS car seat bring it back to the store before even trying to put it in. No matter what you do it’s loose. I had a 220lb man push down on it while I tightened it and it’s still 10in of wiggle room. Please save yourself the time
This is so stupid cause this does not tighten enough. The top half is still wiggly and even in the video she doesn’t show the top half moving. And everyone in the comments saying try this or that or it’s not for my car or I’m stupid like no there needs to be a better strap and a better video and a better car seat cause this is bs.
Impossible to get tight enough to be safe. Avoid this product. Get something that has an extra mechanical assist for tightening. We fought ours for over an hour and could not get it tight enough. We’re returning it.
Do yourselves a favor and skip this car seat. Those latches are lose af and I literally had to get on the car seat myself in order to tighten the belt for the seat not to move as much. Granted, I'm pretty skinny at 6'2 170. It was a pain in the butt.
Video is not accurate, you can clearly see her not moving the car seat to check the tightness. Make the video accurate by showing how shit the strap buckle is
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.
Me sitting on the car seat? Im 6 foot 200 lb. Im a man. I doubt my fat ass will be a good idea to be on it.

If hell existed it would be installing this for eternity
😂😂😂😂
That's my job. I'm a child passenger technician.
@ I think we all are
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
Thank you this helped so much just what we did and it worked
I had my dad help me it’s the key to getting the seat in tight
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
Dumb question but just want to be sure, if you choose to install using the anchors, do you use the seatbelt as well?
One or the other. Not both. 😉
Wow..watching this was much better than the sucky owners manual
Rear facing needs to be in the middle though?
While the middle of the car is considered the safest, all of the seats in the back of a car are okay especially rear facing 🙂
It fails to mention how the latch thingy has 2 latches, how are they supposed to go to both side seat hooks
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.
Yea no tightness issue for me, and I did without pushing it down. But I'll try that method since the head part moves when I turn corners, but the seat itself is steady.
@@theren8311😊😊
So what happens if you do the anchor and the seat belt 😅
How do I loosen the arm straps?
Theres a hidden silver button under one of the slots on the bottom part of the seat, push it down and pull the straps. You can’t see it but feel around I think it was the first slot
If you need them higher too that handle at the top push the button in on it and pull up you’ll hear it kinda click to the next height

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.
Removing the cup and putting the strap through helped alot
It says not to use the anchors for a child over 40 lbs though unfortunately
@@Isabelle-xj6re that’s so strange. I’ve pulled and yanked on that thing like crazy and the anchors have got to be 10x more secure. It’s impossible to make it secure with the seat belt I just don’t get it.

This car seat sucks it's not you trust me
You got this man!!
Same here! I not alone bro 🙌🏻🙌🏻💪🏻
I'm currently in the 90 degree garage trying to install this thing and I'm STRUGGLING
Bro, c'mon now, this isnt that hard
I want the inner alone. Where can i get it?
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

For the booster seat do the child have to be 4 years old or 40 pounds or both?
If they fit the weight and heigh requirement, it’s up to your state laws
I need to take the seat out to accommodate a passenger-any easy way to disconnect the two latches?
This comes with 2 latches. Do you use both, ( one in the under carriage and one on the back of the seat) and use both latch hooks in the car or just one. This video only shows one being used.

Can a 6 month yr old baby fit in this

Hi, I had the same problem but key is push down the seat at te same time you pull the belt
What if my vehicle doesn't have the anchors?
Is this safe for newborns straight out the hospital and is it convenient for taking in and out of the car?
There is a weight they have to be to use it double check before you do
Can I remove the car seat cover to wash ?
When converted to booster mode, what is the safest installation? Can it just be tethered and then secure my child in with the seatbelt? Does it have to be latch installed when using the car seatbelt? I can’t find an answer to this anywhere!
Where u able to figure it out? Looking into it more
According to the manual, you do not use the LATCH system when using as a booster seat. It says to secure the lower anchor belt and tether strap to their storage locations. Seems like you'd just place the booster seat flush against the vehicle seat back, and then use the car's seat belt to buckle your child in. That's what I'm getting from the video and manual. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
Can you ever place the car seat in the middle of the back seats of your car? Or is that not safe?
Idk if you got your answer. But you should ALWAYS put it in the middle seat if that’s an option. Middle is the safest seat in the car:)
does anyone know if u attach it to the seat in a shopping cart?
What kind of dumbass question is that
Here to figure out why too much sway in front facing with belt system. I will switch to front facing with latch system.
quick guide when in hurry:
to tighten baby/toddler's seat belt
is to pull on long flat cord in front of the chair
@5:30
to loosen baby/toddler's seatbelt:
theres a button in front of the buckle's hole is theres a secondary hole open it up and you will see a text in it....
i got tired of trying to find a way to loosen the belt and happened to see it in the hole lol finally got it to loosen.
i too had trouble to get the whole seat to stay still... kind of scary honestly...
No carrying handle?. Very disappointed and I'm returning it 😔
How much force should I use to test for movement? When I use the force of the lady in the video it barely moves about to mimic a crash it flies everywhere but still attacked of course
Use your non dominant hand and check at the belt path, that goes for any seat. You should see less then an inch of movement
When installed there seems to be a lot of play at the front of the carseat (rear facing) when installed. There is little to no movement near the back by the anchor points. Also, how do I keep the carseat (rear facing) from flipping forward towards the vehicle seat?
Idk if this is the case for this model, but the infant carrier style ones, they're supposed to flip toward the seat, making like a protective cocoon.
Can’t find any metal retainer to adjust buckle. 🤷♀️ Nothing like that under there
My daughter figured it out. The base was covering the metal retainer. The whole base slides off so you can access it.
This answered all my questions. Thank you.
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
When my son falls asleep he completely slumps forward. He’s 1 year old and we have it set up just as it should be…this didn’t happen in his infant seat. It has me freaked out
I’m having the same problem… my one year old slumps forward when he is asleep and I have gone over the manual several times and is what has actually brought me here to this video to find out whether I am the only one with this issue. Never happened with my Doona. Please help
I’m having the same issue with my 1 year old rn which is why I’m on this video again
SAME my child threw up from it
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.
Survey says this car seat is a PITA to tighten
Super helpful. Thanks!
When it's converted to the booster mode, how can I fix it in the back seat?
I have the same question. Do you still use the top strap in booster mode?
But I've pulled the bottom anchor straps and only 1 side tightens... the seat still is not secure
You have to weave it through a hole on the side, same hole you use for the seat belt restraint option
Followed the instructions and they didn’t help same car seat name somehow different designs
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
Put weight into car seat to tighten will work
it also might not be the best car seat for your vehicle. some car seats just don't fit right in certain cars. i would find a local CPST to help you isntall the seat
The same for me and it fits perfectly in my car and i had me an my husband put weight but i just feel its still not tight enough
There's gonna be some wiggle(up to an inch), as long as it's secure you should be fine
Gee. I have 2 car, 2 makes and it's still too loose for comfort in both. I will try again.
The bottom is secure but the top where the car seat meets the front seat is very loose
This is my same issue and I’m not sure if it’s normal since the manual and this video only mention the bottom part 😭
Mine still moves more than an inch… what am I doing wrong!!!! 🙄

This seems so easy to install
The shoulder straps they dont seem to clip right in the back. They seem very loose, and too easy to slip off. Any suggestions?
When i take them turns my child goes along with it and the strap only gets tight fron one side. Is that normal?
Buy different brand! Very hard to get tight in car.
Spend a little more and have a lot less frustration!!!

My car seat leans over to the side a bit it doesn't stay straight like it should.. the seat belt is tight though no slack what did I do wrong?
Mine does the same thing 😕
@@yalitzauyaguari450 I ended up making an appointment with my local fire department because I just can't figure it out.. otherwise I'm just going to return it
@@claudiagonzalez6435 That’s great!!! My husband has to do it very tight but still lean a lot to her left side. Is crazy how is not secure!!
@@claudiagonzalez6435 how did gou make out? Im having same problem
@@ellenfloriani50 I took it to my local fire department. They installed mine with the anchors instead of the seat belt but what I noticed is she pressed her hand down on the car seat with a lot of force then she pulled the strap as tight as she could.. I just hope I don't have to take it off because idk if I will be able to install it on my own 😖
Make on for the Safety 1st Jive 2-in-1 Convertible Car Seat,
Just got this car seat and it is straight up trash. I recommend to return it if you can I sadly threw my box out. I’m surprised this is not recalled just dangerous!!
My wife has no issue installing this car seat or any car seat because she let me be the one installing all of it.
I had no trouble at all I read instructions and 15 mins done.
You read the instructions and yet showed up to a video tutorial to brag. Good job 👏 👍 👌 🙌
Like everyone else here, I struggled to get this thing tight enough! My husband pulled the straps while I sat in the seat; no dice. I finally tried loosely installing the back hook, then reclining the actual seat of the car just slightly, then threading the lower latch belt through; connecting it to one side and tightening it as much as possible before connecting it to the other side. Still loose. THEN I raised the seat of the car up a bit, and it finally tightened!
Honestly though, I’d just suggest a different brand. Our Chicco car seats have always worked great, and weren’t such a pain to install. I’ve bought other Safety 1st products and I wouldn’t recommend those either. IMHO, avoid this brand
I agree. Never had a problem with Chicco and if I could, I'd return it.
I find it funny the video lapses in rear facing install from when she tightens it to when she wiggles it. It was definitely not tight enough when she first pulls it and suddenly is tight after the video lapse.
Thank you
Is this seat certified for use in European countries because we brought it back from our last vacation in the states. Feedback would be great!
No It is not
This car seat is trash. I’m doing rearface and I tightened it as tight as it goes and you can still move the car seat with no issues. It moves around all over the place. Don’t buy this car seat. Its trash. Their rear view is not secure. I tried it with the seatbelt and the clamps and tightened it tight asf. There should be secure on the back too not just put a strap through the front of the car seat. The only reason it’s not moving in this video is because she has sunk in seats that sink it into place. 0/5
Does anyone know how to get a refund? We got this at our baby shower. We spent about 2 hours in the heat trying to install this. One of the straps is not long enough and the end result is a seat that can easily move.
You're supposed to run the longer one through, since that's the part that actually extends and shorten. Then buckle then and tighten.
Something I noticed with this car seat is if your back seat reclines make sure you have it at the most upright position at least for forward facing cuz it’s definitely going to be harder to tighten. Otherwise I haven’t had any issues with installing and removing this car seat
"Check the car seat by pushing and pulling car seat at the belt path".... lady grabs the cup holder while she pushes and pulls
On several occasions when I’ve made a turn my child will fill on his side. I don’t understand I followed this video to a tee.
They must have updated the manual because loading the car seat into the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIG_q-ZqgbzYXwbeApK3AybegDUy4f2fF double stroller was mentioned in the manual (unlike previous comments/reviews). The undercarriage basket is quite large but it is difficult to access when the back rider is reclined, however my toddler usually doesn't fall asleep in the stroller these days so I haven't had an issue. I was amazed by how smooth the ride was and how easily I was able to maneuver the stroller in small spaces. My toddler loves that she can see her baby sister (see photo) during the ride :) Plus you can't beat the price! I have only loaded it once in my car and it is fairly light but my mother wouldn't be able to lift it in.
READ THIS!
There is nothing wrong with this seat. I was watching this as a basic tutorial rather than reading the manual for installation.
I then read all the comments here and thought I made a mistake buying this seat. Then I remembered I was schooled in NZ and not the USA and was able to install the seat with no issues.
People who cannot install this seat tightly are either idiots/do not understand the basic concept of leverage or pathetically weak. You can remove a cover and thread the belt through the seat to tighten, also push down on the seat if you aren't very strong.
If you drive on the left (like we do) the safest seat in the car switches to the left rear seat, yet the straps do not change, which means I had to install the seat from the middle of the car instead of the doorwell. Despite this, it was still easy as hell.
So yeah, ignore the yanks. the seat is fine.
lol
I just got mine but it hasn’t come yet. Came to watch the video and freaked out with the comments, though i made a mistake as well. I’m staying with this comment. Thank you 🫶🏻
This tutorial is very vague, she doesn't show us with detail where to loose the straps, I know where it is beacuse I saw another video and the guy show very closely where the button is to loosen up the straps.
We bought this car seat as both wife and i have our own cars. The first car seat we have is a “Nuna Rava” although they are pricey i think it well worth the money! It feels and looks way sturdier than the safety 1st one. I hate that even after following all the instructions on the video the car seat is still very loose. For future parents please read reviews, watch videos, go to stores and touch and experiment with the car seats displays because after having a good quality one (nuna) and a cheap one (safety 1st) there really is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the quality! At the end of the day its for the safety of our babies and i think its well worth spending more money and having that sense of security.
Wont recommed this one. Pathetic belt system. The belts got loose. Dont see an option to adjust belt lengths
Honestly...this car seat is junk. I'm returning it and buying a safer one. I bought this after the good reviews but idk how it's rated so high. It's incredibly loose in every position. This is unsafe.
I have been using this car seat with my daughter for almost 3 years and we recently got into a car accident while using the car seat and she was the only one who had no injuries.
We have 2 in each of our cars. We got them tight enough but the effort the individual in this video shows to tighten the seat is laughable. Easiest way to do this is take the cover off of the front part and pull the belt tight. I'm a big guy and it is still hard for me.
Its not a bad product , its a bad tutorial
thank you this was very easy and understanding!
Idk how this shit is supposed to take care of my son 1 out of 5 stars
This thing is just junk. It works sometimes then sometimes it doesn't. Stray away from this whole operation because you're going to be disappointed
What part doesn't work sometimes? I'm confused 😅
I know mine is falling apart 🙄
I love both of mine curious what doesn't work
Okay but like how tf do I loosen this shit
POS car seat bring it back to the store before even trying to put it in. No matter what you do it’s loose. I had a 220lb man push down on it while I tightened it and it’s still 10in of wiggle room. Please save yourself the time
As Expected!
All these comments are from people without troubleshooting skills apparently LOL. No issue with installing just have to follow directions 🤷🏻♂️
Mine won't tighten, I'm pushing seat down with my foot and pulling up as hard as I can and it won't tighten
That was the most frustrating thing ever
This is so stupid cause this does not tighten enough. The top half is still wiggly and even in the video she doesn’t show the top half moving. And everyone in the comments saying try this or that or it’s not for my car or I’m stupid like no there needs to be a better strap and a better video and a better car seat cause this is bs.
You can literally tighten the car seat if you push down on the car seat. 🙄 the laziness In these comments is ridiculous
I can sit in this seat while my husband pulls and it still won't tighten 🤷🏻♀️
Impossible to get tight enough to be safe. Avoid this product. Get something that has an extra mechanical assist for tightening.
We fought ours for over an hour and could not get it tight enough. We’re returning it.
Do yourselves a favor and skip this car seat. Those latches are lose af and I literally had to get on the car seat myself in order to tighten the belt for the seat not to move as much. Granted, I'm pretty skinny at 6'2 170. It was a pain in the butt.
Video is not accurate, you can clearly see her not moving the car seat to check the tightness. Make the video accurate by showing how shit the strap buckle is
