This is the best and easiest video on KZbin showing new mommies how to adjust these confusing seats. You are the first one to actually say simply press this harness right here.

Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. kzbin.infoUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat

Hate when people put ads on educational videos.

[@megan.hackworth]

I hate it too! KZbin puts them there, not me. I don't get any revenue from these ads. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

It’s okay, I’m sorry I was just frustrated trying to figure out how to adjust straps and didn’t have the best service so it froze on the ad

@@cruzidaliaavalos5062 if you still need help let me know. I can walk you through it

[@megan.hackworth]

Sorry it's not the best video...I really need to redo this one. Here are the steps: 1. Loosen the harness straps all the way by pressing the silver button at the bottom of the seat while you pull at the shoulder portion of the straps. 2. Turn the car seat around so you're looking at the back and find the metal splitter plate. 3. One at a time, release the straps from the splitter plate. It's easiest to do this by scrunching the canvas webbing in towards the center and then leading it out of the pathway with the outer edge of the strap. It is very difficult to remove these if they're folded up, so get the edge out first and the rest will follow. 4. Bring the strap all the way out through the front of the car seat and feed it through the slot you want, then reattach it to the metal plate, making sure it's secure. (For a rear-facing child, pick the slot at or just below their shoulders. For forward-facing, use the slot at or just above their shoulders.) 5. Follow the same steps to move the other strap. *I recommend doing these one at a time, not together, to make it easier to see how they reattach and not accidentally get things twisted up.* You can also shorten the straps for an infant by using the slot in the middle of the straps after the large sewn in section.

How do you take the car seat apart to get to the splitter thing?

[@megan.hackworth]

@@annahipperson8496 are you working with the Sonus car seat? If so, you don't have to take anything apart, just loosen the straps all the way and look at the back of the car seat and you will see it. Some car seats have the splitter plate hidden within the shell, so instructions for those seats will be different.
