When navigating with your child, you want that extra confidence that comes with ensuring your child is buckled right. Every vehicle is different, so it’s essential to understand how to install your car seat the correct way with the help of the car seat manual. However, there’re basics you need to follow through.
First and foremost, if you’re using the seat belt installation method, make sure it runs through the belt path, then check the angle indicator. You can then lock the seat belt using either the lock on the car seat or using the seat belt mechanism. After doing this, make sure the seat belt is tight enough by applying pressure with your hand or knee if needed. The Car seat should be tight enough not to move more than an inch.
Another method you could use is the LATCH method. Make sure you know which direction the latch clip needs to be placed. Then ensure the latch belt goes through the belt path and is straight, then connect the latch clips to the anchors.
