- Graco Extend2Fit convertible car seat installation for rear-facing placement. In this video I am using the seat belt to securely install the car seat.
Make sure to fully review the owner’s manual for best results. Installing a rear facing car seat with a seat belt can be the best option depending on your child’s weight and model year of your vehicle. After installation, there should be very little movement in the car seat when pushed laterally. When tightening straps, do not worry about overtightening - it is better to have the car seat safely secured than to have it too loose. It is best to ensure the back of the car seat is not touching the back seat of the passenger sitting in the front seat.
Your baby’s safety is top priority. Installing car seats in the rear facing position is recommended to be followed for babies younger than age two. In some states, local police departments or community centers provide free evaluation of existing car seat installations, even providing complete installation at no charge. It is best to check with your local municipality and see if an appointment is required.
The Graco Extend2Fit convertible car seat allows for your child to sit rear-facing for up to 50 pounds. Key features include six reclining positions and an extended panel that provides up to 5 inches of additional legroom. The color of the car seat featured in this video is ‘Campaign’.

Struggling with that buckle is a mood🤣
Installing an infant car seat is intimidating. This video is clear and concise. I found it very helpful and informative.
This video is very comprehensive and easy to understand. I appreciate the reminder to have the installation checked by the police or community service offices for maximum safety precautions.
Thanks for posting, still helpful 3 years later!
Glad it helped!
4 years later for me, very helpful!!!!
Remember to move that passenger seat forward there should always be a little room between the carseat and the seat for impact
Very informative video. We use the tethered straps, which click into our car, making it a lot easier, but whenever a family member picks us up to have family time, they don't have it, so this video came in handy. (:
I don't believe you are supposed to use those past a certain weight
I was a bit intimidated as a female to install, but this made it pretty easy. Thank you!!!! Will be attempting to install mine tomorrow.
Glad it helped!
Thanks you so much for the video explanation I successfully install mine today. It wasn’t install right I feel pretty bad when someone told me that. But thanks you now my baby is secure correctly in her carseat❤️
Great to hear!
Always see a CPST. A police department won’t always be certified
This video is SO good! Thanks so much for this!!!
Thank you! That’s how I did it but and now I feel secure in my work!
Glad it helped!
I like the hand through the opening; makes it clear where the belt goes.
Thank you this video was very helpful
Thank you so much for this! This was extremely easy to follow and made my install less stressful!
Great video brother much appreciated
Thanks for the video :) !
Thank you, tremendous help
Thank you very much!
Thank You for sharing. Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making this simple and clear. No 15 minute exposition, title slides, or music. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Great video brother very clear and direct definitely helpful appreciate it .
I appreciate that!
The manual does say to store the latch strap in the belt path that's not being used - so with the rear facing install, the latch belt needs to be stored in the forward facing belt path. Other than that, great video :)
Really excellent so helpful
Great video, you made it easy!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you . This video was so helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
The seat should be tight with very little wiggle room. First, you should’ve moved that front passenger seat all the way forward prior to the install. You should’ve used your upper body as leverage to push the seat all the way back against the backseat. Then you pull the seatbelt harness as tightly as you could. This demo is very unsafe. I actually paid and got trained by a Child Passenger Safety Technician to install infant and convertible car seats.
so, shoot a video :)
Santiago Del Bono nah. Search the car seat lady. She’s awesome with car seat installations.
@@yoochoob yeah I saw that video today. Really great. For some reason the stupid belt of my car seems to not lock and after some minutes my graco grows4me is not as tight as should be. I don't what to do.
Very helpful!
Thank you!!
Thank u for this video
I felt that I was doing it wrong
I am glad to see it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, my friend.
Thanks a lot
Great!!
Thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks bro
Thanks man.
Thanks for watching
el video más claro que vi! muchas gracias!!!
for some reason I thought this car seat had two buckles that would be secured
to fasteners between the lower seat &
the seat cushion. does it not have them
for added security? I'm new at this and
just bought this same car seat online
from Amazon yesterday it will be here
Monday of next week. Thank you for your video 📹 well done! 😇👍 (now if
only elections were this easy)🤣😅🤣
Good video, easy to understand. Still, hard to install if you have big hands.
Some car seats are allotted a certain amount of overhang which is found in the manual for the car seat itself.
Do you have tiny hands? I can’t reach through the belt path. And I think that’s too loose
What about the belt hanging in the back of the car seat? It’s hanging loose back there
That's a ton of wiggle room. You want someone to push down on the seat and use the metal seat belt tightened to get rid of all that play!!
What can i do if my seatbelt isn't long enough to buckle?
Hi, just got this as a gift for our growing girl...do you know if this has a base sold separately for easy latching?
Henry Farthington the base is connected to the bottom of the car seat already. This car seat is not made to carry around meaning it should stay connected at all times. You can also take the 2 latches from the side and hook them in to your car seats if they have the hooks.
Hello Henry, the base is connected to the car seat - nothing additional to purchase.
thanks 🙏
Thank you for watching!
How do I know if I need to thread the seatbelt through the car seat or use the bottom clip thing?
Please check the owner's manual of your specific vehicle to be sure. If that doesn't help, I recommend calling Graco customer service to be sure.
I can't find one video where the camera is pointing at the shoulder belt from the other side . Mine keeps getting twisted below cupholder
I was hoping someone in the comments would explain where the seatbelt should go on that side.
Is there a video for a rooftop install... my girl enjoys the wind in her hair...
I want to purchase this carseat but I don't know if it will fit in my Honda Civic? What kind of car do you have?
A Honda Civic is a fairly common car. I would contact Graco directly to confirm it will work for your vehicle.
You are supposed to put weight in the middle of the seat to to get a solid install when locking the seat belt, you should only check for movement at the belt path and there should only be 1” of movement and your seat should not touch the back of another seat....
Ashlyn Boney and what about wiggle up and down, my graco car seat is way to loose going up and down, so confused why it needs to be like that
Is there any room for the front seat passenger?
This was installed in a 2008 Toyota Corolla. Yes, there is room for a front passenger, but it is a tight squeeze for someone with really long legs :)
In Canada, that panel MUST be extended for rear facing and there should be space between passenger seat and car seat.
Thank you for the information about Canada. This demonstration was for a vehicle in USA.
oh that's it? Thanks!
Isn't it more secure with the anchors from the car seat?
On this specific car seat, yes, it does actually tend to install better with the lower anchor connectors than with the seat belt. That is not always the case, though. (Child Passenger Safety Technician)
Only thing that would change on this car seat is the opening that you fit your hand through for seatbelt . Legit are they made for girls hands or people with tiny hands I couldn’t even fit my hand in never mind whole arm would make the whole bigger for sure , had to snake it through and finally got it 15 mins later smh
Graco seats can not touch the front passengers seat. If your on fb join a car seat safety group they are very helpful

Thank you first time parents figuring it out
Is it safer to have the car seat in the side seats or in the middle seat?
Middle is always safer than side, and rear-facing is always safer than front-facing.

This is not a correct install at all. Number one the latch anchor belt should be moved to the forward facing belt path slot if you are installing rearfacing with seatbelt, you never run both through the same opening, number two that isn’t anywhere near tight enough, you have to apply a good amount of pressure/body weight to the seat to tighten, number 3 the car seat shouldn’t brace against the back of the front seat, depending on the manufacturer of the seat there are different rules of how much space should be in between the car seat & the back of the front seat, with graco seats you have to have enough space to easily slide a piece of paper between them, so it’s hard to tell from the video, this may be okay here but you definitely never want it bracing against it.
What about up and down movement of the car seat? My moves up and down easily
Are my hands too big for that opening for the seat belt?? Urghhhh
My hand does not go thru!!!
allenyoon pop the cover up so you can see what you’re doing. Don’t lock the seatbelt until it’s buckled. That’ll make it a lot easier!
Just so u know those side clips u said u dont have to use are very important too USE ! Those metal clips will make sure the bby wont move if the belt rips off. Plz remake this an use those metal side clips. May safe a bby life .
You never use both latch and seatbelt at the same time. If properly installed, the seatbelt is just as safe as latch.
You're supposed to use one or the other. Latch is only safe under 40lbs, also not all cars have the latch.
No... The car seat moved a lot and it wasn't all the way on the seat... DON'T DO THIS
Okay but the truth is, it’s not simple and easy to install a car seat. This is definitely not tight enough at all
Too loose, this shook like crazy
Do not install your car seat this way. This is a terrible install. That seat is WAY too loose.
My thoughts
Katiya Tovar uhh not really?The manual itself says it needs about an inch of wiggle room?lmao
Yep. I came here to try to figure out how to get mine less "wiggly" and it's just like the video. Seems too much for me to feel safe with.
This is NOT how you install a car seat.
too wiggly
wow bub I wish I had a womans hand like yours. No way my potato mashers fitting through there....V
Baffled as to why this is behind the passenger seat rather than in the middle where it is supposed to be...I'll keep looking for a proper video I guess.
Thanks for wasting my time
Wrong wrong wrong wrong-----bad video to a point----he still needs to put knee in middle of car seat---push down and tighten even more----plus even if you don't have achore hooks on the car---find somewhere to use those also----your baby car seat should NOT move at all----I dont care how many straps you have to use----make that car seat so snug that it will not move more than 1/2 inch any way----better yet not move at all.....
I Gullett you should absolutely never use both the seat belt and LATCH in combination to one another. That is not what they are designed for and can compromise the seat. One or the other, and LATCH usually should not be used if a child is over 40lbs depending on what is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Not to mention, attaching a latch tether to something that it was not designed to accommodate adds no additional safety, and can be more dangerous as it was not designed to withstand crash forces.
The manual itself says it should have about an inch of movement
Sorry, but you’re wrong. You are not supposed to use both the seat belt and latch straps. It’s not safe, and car seat manufacturers specifically state not to do so. The only place you anchor them, is on the appropriate anchors. If your car doesn’t have them YOU DONT USE THE LATCH SYSTEM.
So no, YOU’RE wrong.
Thank you!

Thank you!
You're welcome!
