How To Install Graco Extend2Fit Convertible Car Seat Front-Facing

Watch how to install the Graco Extend2Fit convertible car seat in a front-facing position.
Children who meet the proper age and weight requirements should sit in a car seat that is in the front-facing position in order to remain safe. The Graco Extend2Fit car seat lists the weight of 22-65 pounds as the acceptable weight to ride in a front-facing position. It is best to have your car seat installation checked by a certified or trained installer. It is common for local police departments to have someone on staff who is trained in not only reviewing a car seat installation, but also performing the installation at no charge.
The Graco Extend2Fit convertible car seat includes an extension panel with four positions, allowing for up to five inches of additional leg room. This is a key feature when front facing, as there tends to be more open space in front of the child since passenger seats can be moved forward, allowing for more room. There are three recline positions on this car seat that can be used when riding in a front-facing position. The headrest adjusts to ten different positions. The seat cushions are machine-washable.
Overall, there are collectively really good reviews of the Graco Extend2Fit Convertible Car Seat. I have used the car seat in both the rear-facing and front-facing positions and am happy with the ease of installation and comfort of the seat cushion and headrest padding. The extension panel is the feature I like the most because it allows for my child’s feet to keep from dangling, which is key when your child is trying to sleep.

Great to hear!

[@rosieinwyo]

You'll have to put the foot tray in, as it is rear facing only. Otherwise not a bad install. Be sure to take out the infant padding, check the weight limits on your forward recline, and only check for movement at the belt path.

[@marcia8377]

[@keishaocasio3713]

This really helps me because I was always nervous. Mine wiggles a bit so I used that short extension but it only clicks on one side so I’m now trying to get an extension (its so short it doesn’t fit in any car). But I’m glad I saw this because it meant I was doing it right , although my husband insists that I (me, not him) go to the fire station for help.

[@kaitlyn563]

Keisha Ocasio this video is wrong also fire stations aren’t car seat certified so don’t have them install your car seat.

One small mistake. Extender tray is for rear facing ONLY. Says in the manual :)

[@marcia8377]

Thank you! I was going to comment the same thing!

[@GodWeenSatan]

Two mistakes, you're supposed to remove the headrests

[@Josey168]

Eastwood Unforgiven it actually depends on the car and car seat if you have to remove the headrest.

[@roarytubbs6377]

I believe it also says not to use the foot tray extender and the angle is based on child’s weight.

[@kalilabaz]

Ok.

[@amandagersbacher9116]

You also have to use recline 4 for a child under 40lbs and over 40lbs the recline has to be on either 5 or 6. Foot trey can not be used forward facing.

[@dyip32]

Any chance someone knows why Position-4 must be used until the child is 40lbs?

[@margerymorsches5430]

@@dyip32 I was wondering the same thing! It doesn’t fit right in my car on position 4

[@RMCthrills]

The answer to your question is that kids under 40 lbs need to be reclined if the seat can’t be fitted rear facing

Man, I was trying to use the straps that I used for rear facing, but it was too short for forward facing. Good to know it’s the car’s seatbelt I have to use now

[@natashadyke7004]

You have to use the forward facing belt path. You can use latch for forward facing as long as the child is 45 lbs or under. You just have to reroute it for the forward facing path

[@kathleennasvaderani9244]

The vehicle manual determines if the top tether goes under or over the head restraint, or if the head restraint can be removed.

[@MrJhonjab]

Thank you very much for the video. I have the following problem, when my daughter falls asleep her head tilts forward. How can I keep it back?

[@chellevongarrett802]

You need to recline her back by pulling the recline in front of the seat but also remember she can only recline back to #4 #5 and #6 when facing forward the rest are for rear facing

[@edutainmenttl4560]

Thank

[@Everilid]

Thanks from a confused aunt at the airport

[@flarrow24]

This is installed incorrectly. The foot tray is for rear facing only. You need to take the infant bottom insert and head support out (it is only allowed to be used rear facing) and the harness covers need to come off (also only allowed rear facing). Please find a CPST to help you install your seat.

[@asadqureshy3125]

It says in bold in thr manual, the leg extention CAN NOT BE USED IN FORWARD FACING

[@jessibanks4104]

What are the harness covers? The strap covers?

[@Flipper86]

You’re pulling on the lap/shoulder belt. Don’t lock the seatbelt until it’s buckled. It’s easier to not have to hold the locked shoulder belt. Be careful not to let it retract too quickly as it can switch the retractor back to unlock.

[@amandasourvelis2597]

Very thorough

[@bigdaddyrichard75]

What about the other anchor straps on the side do you not need them for front facing?

[@mikemasters4248]

What do you do with the clips that were used to hook it up rear facing? Now they just hang there. Do you not use them to hook it up front facing too?

[@chellevongarrett802]

Yes you do use them you have to pull it threw one side the side that will let you pull it the you lift one side of the seat covering and you slide the clips up and place them threw the back open sides then clip them back into the seat

Unfortunately the extender tray cannot be used in forward facing

[@NotMe99004]

Page 49 of the manual states, “DO NOT USE extender forward-facing.” Just a heads up.

[@UNIQUE7233]

Quick question, how long does baby stay rear facing? Sorry first time Mommy here!

[@miahmoo8451]

Jasmine LeAnn until at least 2 years of age. This particular seat goes up to 50lbs rear facing. My 3 year old just turned forward facing a couple weeks ago.

[@angelicaortiz8310]

As long as possible! It’s the safest for kids to rearface as long as possible. This seat is great it goes up to 50lbs rear faced (average age of 5 depending on child.) facebook.com/groups/carseatsafety2. This group is so great for car seat questions! Lots of awesome certified car seat techs to help keep your kids safe!

[@hopeebrown81]

It is recommended to keep your child rear-facing for 2 years.

[@Pennyxo]

2 years or until the child reaches the weight limit.

[@D3vine0n3]

The manual says rear facing is 4-50 lb and forward facing is 22-65 lb Also says your baby must be able to sit upright unassisted in order to be forward facing

[@missamy1410]

The manual tells you on page 49, "DO NOT USE the leg extender forward-facing."

[@swtxvi3txhuni]

What happens if I want to put the car seat in the middle?

[@mariomario7379]

How do you adjust the straps for the shoulders? It’s too tight for my little one.

[@jonavantour9856]

Mario Mario. The head rest adjust up and down and the top of the head rest should be 1 inch or more above the top of your lil ones head! But that also adjust the shoulder harness to allow ample room for your kiddos shoulders

[@carlabaisi3388]

La bandeja extensora no se debe usar a favor de la marcha. Lo dice el manual

[@keithmoylan3093]

I hate to be this guy but you overlooked a very important step which is to slide the straps that lock into the car's actual seat.

[@abdelkoki]

thank by the way you can also buy it from here @t

[@yifat9083]

Can this recline when facing front ?

[@JimWellman]

I don't see what it could hurt, but the istruction manual says "DO NOT USE the extension panel forward-facing."

[@kassidyc]

Same. I know it says that but I would like a reasoning as to why. My son likes it so he can rest his feet

[@Mariekr49]

My baby is 19lbs is this ok for her to start using??

[@bethanybertsch4334]

She's still pretty little for forward facing.

[@CrissyKlingensmith]

You shouldn’t lower the headrest to where it pushes the seat forward and per the manual in the Ford facing position, the extension in the front should not be pulled out

[@theawesomeone1844]

Lap belt only goes across your lap. Shoulder belt goes across shoulder and lap. Just saying... how can I trust what you're saying if you don't know the difference between a lap belt and a shoulder belt?

[@jennaroseb]

is your car a kia forte?

[@roomsweep]

No, it is not.

[@acstone3048]

Can u use latch with this?

[@roomsweep]

It may depend on the car. For my vehicle, the latch was not required. I would suggest reading the manual or contacting Graco's customer support just to be sure.

[@acstone3048]

Room Sweep I did and yes u can use a latch and tether Or seatbelt and tether. 🙌🏼

[@wayne9914]

Your car literally has the attachment points to not use the seat belt. You can see in the video the markings on the the the adult seats

[@GodWeenSatan]

You're supposed to take off the headrests when using car seats

[@stefaniesantillano9133]

No you dont. Not all cars are equipped with removable head tests.

[@ciaruhhh]

it’s still wobbly though

[@thirsacuevas]

you forgot to adjust the latch straps

[@seanenright2497]

This install is somewhat misleading. This install is only for vehicles that do not have the "bars" that you can clip into with the straps that come with the car seat, in this video you see it clipped in the section for the rear facing set up. That strap slides up the seat to the other holes for the front facing position. I would recommend using those over the seatbelt configuration if you can.

[@seanenright2497]

do not install with LATCH for a child greater than 45 lb

[@roomsweep]

@@seanenright2497 Always best to check with a local police municipality or community center that has a professional, certified car seat installer available to check the install in-person.

I have the same one, and I hate it, so uncomfortable! baby seat belt falls, every time on seat, need to be fixed all the time, trash!

[@kaitlyn563]

Both head and body insert should be removed , foot tray needs to be in , youre testing for movement the wrong way only test at beltpath. Please do proper research before uploading videos on KZbin because you’ve now shown people how to install the seat unsafe and their child could be hurt in a crash and you could have a lawsuit.

[@rhdtv2002]

Why not use the appropriate latch..most people dont need this as most vehicles now have had latches already

[@nataliem872]

Because depending on the weight limit of the latch, highest being 65lbs for most vehicles, the weight of the child plus the car seat can exceed that.

There are a lot of inconsistencies in this video. I dont trust thos bone head.
