How to install a car seat rear-facing baby seat : Graco Car seat Install. Graco 4ever 4 in 1

[@Sheli-_-]

I don’t even try to read the instructions first I always come right to KZbin and then look over the instructions. Thanks for your help!!

[@HelpMe_OrNot]

I am a visual learner so this was great

[@johnny2003]

Terrible instructions. Waste of time to read this one.

[@lauralindberg4572]

Thank you so much. I spent 2 hours reading the manual and was so confused. Your video helped tremendously. Now I can sleep tonight.

Spent like an hour trying to figure it out, watched this video and got it in 10 minutes. Thank you!!

Just lift the seat up as if getting hit from behind.. the seat lifts! Baby will smash his face.. Need the back strap hooked somewhere

[@lynnelocke9343]

I, too, was losing my mind reading the directions. Thank you so much! Car seat installed, pending approval from my daughter and son-in-law!! :)

My son is transitioning from his newborn seat to this Graco seat! I appreciate you! Thank you for this video!!

[@JexxiMae]

This is, by far, the best tutorial for this seat. The worst part is I had to watch like 5 bad ones for yt to suggest this one. For some reason it didn't come up in my initial search.. Thank you! With the virus, finding face to face help has proven almost impossible, so having to install myself has been nerve wracking. This video helped me tremendously.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I’m glad you found it! 🙂

[@lifeflonghabsfan]

Thank you so much for such a thorough video! You covered all the questions I had after reading the manual. We bought this car seat so we can use it for our grandson & we found the manual was somewhat confusing. Your video clearly explained everything we needed to know down to the cup holders.

[@andrewchoi2780]

[@sekzicoqueta22]

Thank youuu!!!! I have the Graco Triride 3 in 1 car seat. I was looking at the manual WHILE watching the company installation videos for a quick install (baby hates her infant C Car seat ) and it was not until i saw YOUR video that i was abt to install it. Thank you for this video!

[@supabuck2822]

You helped me with my cobra clutch, and now with my new car seat. You are the man! 😊

[@bekratzidy]

just so you know, if you use the car seat belt on the rearfacing, you are supposed to "store" the latch system in the forward facing placement which is higher on the back and stored around on the latches on back.

[@bekratzidy]

@Tristen Krakie I dont know if this answers your question without re-watching the video to make sure what I was referencing, but in the manual, page 32/33 and page 42 (shows the storage of the belt using the orange path, and the clip for the top tether) shows the storage of the latch system

[@bekratzidy]

@Tristen Krakie haha it takes a village!!

[@davidtaylor606]

Would recommend using the latches OR using the seatbelt to keep the car seat secure what’s best?

[@bekratzidy]

@David Taylor both are secure and safety tested for this carseat. You can check your owners manual of you car for what they recommend as the safest option, and sometimes offer guidance to the safest seat placement. But, graco safety certified both the latch and the seat belt. I personally feel I get a tighter instalation with less movement when I use the latch but my car may be different

[@Vegas_Knight]

I watched like another 5 videos that were just confusing me . This video was perfect and I got it on my 1st try . THANK YOU

[@smilebhsmilebh]

Man thank you! I was about to cry and had to reschedule my appt but finally figured out how to adjust the straps🤦🏾‍♀️

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Congratulations!

[@jngx80]

Important note: always read the manual even after watching instructional KZbin videos. Wanted to point out that according to the manual, if you're using the seat belt for rear facing, you need to move the latch strap up and through the slots for face forward. I assume they do not want the seat beat to go over the latch strap in the rear facing slot. There's a place to hook the latch straps in the back.

[@Trevil666]

There's useless. There's worse than useless. And then there's this thing's manual. Thanks for the video.

[@braddorsher1203]

Best video I have seen and we were starting to get frustrated. Thank you VERY much :).

[@freddesena562]

Read both the manufacturer's and the car manual. Confused and lacked details or too many details in one diagram. I didn't get it! Watched this video and "One-To-Three" Thank you Danny!!

[@juiced71]

I don’t like the fact that head rest has no anchor .. Grab the top and pull it back towards the window ...just seems like there should be something that attaches to me since your already pulling the seat forward with the straps at the front .. My daughter has one and we were just out installing it .. I do like the fancy clips they have nowa days that’s pretty cool 👍🏻 And also they should of gave ya a little more belt because like you said you can’t tighten it from an angle and they don’t give you much room to pull straight up I think some women might struggle a little bit ... Baby fits good in the seat for sure packed in like a little sausage lol Good tip on laying something down ! Yours has a nice flat seat probably a little more stable... I remember back in the day loading up the car with 3 car seats what fun!! 😂 Thanks for the vid definitely gives insight!

Whoa! Great job… wish I had started with this video, would have saved me a lot of anxiety.

[@katietaptto4389]

Thanks for this! I couldn’t figure out the correlation of the recline to the bubble level 😂 Now I got it set correctly! I used the handle of a hammer to pull the anchor belt as tight as I could. I’m in an Impala and trying to get in the car with the car seat and pull that strap was a pain! Also lucky you for having easy access anchor point in your car 😄 Mine are buried in the cushion 😩

[@deonnaborden2988]

You can’t use any tools to help tighten the latch system. This could make the latch over tightened which will cause the seat to not function correctly in a crash.

Thanks I read the manual and tried my best to get it expect but this video really helped i was headed to the fire department!

[@brianoconnor9105]

Thank you for this, I went from a regular car seat to this, and the anchors confused the hell outta me (I’m a first time parent 💀💀)

[@davidtaylor606]

So question!! In my car I only have the anchors behind the passenger and behind the driver the middle does NOT have the anchors. Could I still put the car seat in the middle with the seatbelt!!??

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes. Anchors are one form of securing the seat. Car seats are also designed to work without the anchor using the seat belt

[@amandaischristine]

Ugh, I still don’t get it. Tried both the latch and the seat belt method but either way, I can slide it around when I pull from the top. Are you using a lot of force when you test wiggle it? Can you use the front seat to stabilize it?

[@mickiferguson9679]

Get behind it if you can reach your hand Thur the cup holder then pull straight up. That's how I have to tighten it

[@jessicalemus8296]

What’s better ? The seat belt on the car or the latches that the car seat brings ? Sorry new mom here

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I feel the anchors from the car seat to the car are better than the regular seat belt with the shoulder strap. If it’s only the lap belt on the car it might be about the same as the anchors, but that’s just my opinion

[@TheReloader]

Thanks for this!

[@MsNathaliabello]

how to make sure the bubble is in the blue line while in position number one? Or the bubble has to be in the blue line only while installing and later it can change?

[@PedroCaciano]

ThNk you! Very helpful

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@XxItzkenExX]

Which one would u recommend using? Anchor belt or the seatbelt?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I like the anchor since it’s lower and it seems to be easier to tighten

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@albertcummings3879]

[@samyg123]

What stops the car seat from rocking towards the rear of the car? It seams only the rear portion (by the baby’s feet) is secured

[@ousamira1]

It's wedged between the back and the bottom of the seat of you do it right so there is little room for movement.

[@lankstadiscs]

Same issue, depending on the angle of your seat nothing is stopping that from occurring and once that process starts the securing mechanism loses all tension. We used the front facing anchoring system to secure the rear of the seat to metal clips attached to the passengers seat, seems like a really faulty design.

[@StephenCountryTheodore31]

Good work sir

[@kathleencarney7007]

I’m wondering what to do with the extra strap behind the car seat when they’re in rear facing mode and you’re not using that? It’s just hanging there and seems unsafe as it is

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

@@kathleencarney7007 when its rear facing and not in use it should be stowed behind the car seat. Mine came with a rubber band around it as I recall. Bunch it up to make sure it can’t come over the top of the car seat or fling around

[@kathleencarney7007]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thank you for replying so quickly, so mine is just hanging behind the car seat, I don’t think it can fling to the front, but is there something I can clip it into?

[@lankstadiscs]

We’ve installed it rear facing with the cars safety belt as tightly as possible but it isn’t very secure. If you grab the head rest and pull up the car seat will freely flip up completely, losing all tension, essentially flipping your baby inward toward the car seat. Other car seats we’ve used do not have this issue and nobody seems to talk about it as a safety issue. With the front facing anchoring system we have secured it but it seems ludicrously unsafe if you go by the manual or this video alone. Very faulty design.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I would take it to the nearest fire department where they will look at it for free

[@stevewallace7152]

Ok, so I’ve done all this and the instructions say I shouldn’t be able to move more than an inch from side to side and front to back and I can’t so that seems correct but the problem is when rear facing this particular car seat which I have the exact same one it wants to pivot quite a lot if you hold the back of the car seat(back rest) while rear facing, you can pivot it at least 8 inches side to side. This does not seem like it should happen but yet how can it not if no belts or anything are holding the backrest in place. You didn’t show this movement area in the video. Please comment if anyone knows.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I would refer to the manufacturer and the manual, but it appears to me that in front facing it has the anchor on the back assuming the front impact would be greatest, so maybe they assume the same and believe the greatest force on rear facing would rely on the main belts (or anchors if using that option) and do not need an additional top tether for the weight of a child in a rear facing seat. Just my thoughts, ask the manufacturer. I only showed what was in the manual and did not put much opinion in the video of course

[@bradleybowman6440]

Is that mat allowed in the manual?

[@melanied6454]

What brand is the anchoring belt that you use, please? Does it come with the car seat? I am looking at the Graco all in one slim fit and see a couple of people install it using this belt.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Everything shown in this video was included with the car seat from Graco. I would imagine all of their seats should come with what you need to anchor it as far as straps

[@melanied6454]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I hope so, thanks!

[@amyw.3619]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@carolpineda5527]

Why don’t they want you to use both the anchor and seatbelt?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It can cause stress that can break the seat (apparently)

[@lionsden3437]

Thanks buddy!! 👍

[@Mari1922_]

How do you loosen the harness straps?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Right up against the seat between where the child’s feet would be there is a pull strap that tightens the shoulder straps. If you put your thumb right there you will feel a small button you press on where that strap goes into the car seat. Push it and it releases

[@davidtaylor606]

My daughter just turned 1 for rear facing in the middle backseat would Guys recommend using the latches OR using the seatbelt!?!?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes. One or the other. You don’t use both

[@jasblack29]

is this the type of carseat that stays in the vehicle, unlike an infant carrier?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes. This has the base kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6TVaHdjaqlnkKs

[@Chrisenjoyspeople]

Is it me or does it feel like there should be a way to keep the rear of the car seat more secure? I followed this video to a tea and yet still if you push hard enough on the rear of the car seat it just slides upward and doesn’t seem safe

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

If you take the car to a fire department they will look it over for free.

[@jenniferboone1141]

Thank You

[@ralos329]

How do you loosen the shoulder straps without raising the harness? I’m having a hard time believing you can comfortable fit these straps over a new born

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

There is a button near the belt buckle under the cover so it’s hard to see. When you push it down the shoulder straps can be loosened. There is also a pull tab there to tighten the shoulder straps in the front of the seat at the bottom

[@ralos329]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage ok I’ll check for it thanks. We were thinking of returning it because no matter how I play with the seat, the level just seems off. It would appear my infant would have to sit with their feet parallel with the ceiling and head between legs.

Question: What do you do with the anchor on the back of the carseat when rear facing? Mine is kind of just dangling there. I noticed yours isn't. What can I/should I do?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

As I recall, it was just rubber banded up on the back side before I used it

[@Singkhorn.S]

I see you installed the child seat in the middle. Is the child seat allowed to touch the back of the driver seat if one decides to install behind the driver seat?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

As long as it’s not effecting the angle of the car seat it should be ok. The center is the safest place if possible, but some cars have captain chairs. Maybe the passenger side would be better and move the seat forward so it’s not touching at all. You don’t want it to rub and ruin your seat as well.

[@bahenas18]

It should not.

[@roxannealvarez8720]

So if we do the bottom anchors we need to do the back one as well?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

That would be only for forward facing to my understanding. Consult your owners manual for what they recommend

[@phongtran7574]

I think the strap is taut in my car, but it's still moving around a lot at the base. My wife and I are thinking it's because we don't have the mat that yours does? Have you tried using the seat without the mat to see if it's just as secure? If the mat does make a difference, what mat are you using? Thanks!!

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Are you using just the seat belt or the belt strap? This is like the Matt we have but in fear of it hurting the seats we haven’t used it without www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WGVJBXP/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=2004047-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07WGVJBXP&linkId=179d114bf5862cb049ab6eb256a2809e

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

If the middle seat belt also has the shoulder one and it doesn’t have the lap belt part you can pull to tighten, sometimes you need to pull the belt all the way out until it runs out of belt and then let it retract. As it gets to the end keep feeding it into the retractor until it’s tight. If you can’t get it right make sure to get it right and don’t give up 🙏🏼. www.c-suvs.com/rear_center_seatbelt-4548.html
