How To Install A Baby Car Seat Base Using The Latch

Follow the steps below to install an infant car seat base with a latch:

1. Remove the bucket seat from the base to inspect it for flaws. Examine the clips and belts for loose parts, cracks, and defects.
2. Make sure the car seat base is flat on your car seat. The latch clips on the vehicle seat should face the back of your Graco seat, where the lower anchors are located.
3. Check the belt and latch clips on your Graco seat carefully for twists and tangles.
4. Now, attach the latch clip to the corresponding lower anchor on one side of the seat base. After that, attach the other latch clip to its corresponding lower anchor on the opposite side of the base.
5. Pull the strap on the latch fixture to tighten the seat as much as possible.
6. Make sure the angle of your car seat is correct. Back-facing car seats, for example, are expected to be positioned at 30° to 45°. However, you may encounter difficulties in obtaining this angle at times. In this case, you can adjust the angle of your car seats by placing a rolled-up towel against the bottom of the vehicle’s back seat.
7. Perform the inch test. Shake the foundation in all directions. Make sure that it does not change positions by more than an inch. If this happens, it means the base is not fastened properly. You should be aware, however, that this test does not pertain to up-and-down motion. Don’t use a tether in a rear-facing car seat. If you discover that the base moves up and down, don’t worry about it.
