I’m glad it was helpful! I would look at a graco triride or graco triogrow snuglock. They are often on sale for under $150 even down to $100 this time of year. They will rear face to the same height as the extend2fit (49 inches) or to 40 lbs. you could also look at passing down the extend to fit and buying a combination seat like a graco tranzisions or graco nautilus for the older one.

You use the lower anchors OR the seat belt. Never both. Graco does not allow for use of both at the same time

There is a handle/lever behind the babies head that you have to push and then pull straight up by the carry handle.

Glad it was helpful!

This was one of the first I did. I do separate them with later seats I’ve filmed. Live and learn 😊

You’re welcome!

Where are you checking for movement? Only check at the belt path. Are you using the lock off for the seatbelt? Also you want the lap belt to be tight. Then slide the shoulder belt through the lock off on the side opposite the buckle.

@Tinypassengersafety first time parent. I was checking movement by grabbing at the bottom. That's incorrect? Thanks for the reply

You're welcome

Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful.

You only check for movement at the belt path. If it moves more than one inch side to side or front to back at the belt path it’s not tight enough. If not then it’s safe!

You’re welcome

It is not safe to forward face under 2. She has one year old bones. We want to rear face as long as possible. Can you give her a busy book or a lovey she can play with for the ride?

@ I have done all that, even gave tablet and phone . She will be 23 months the end of December

You’re welcome!

Yes the tether is for forward facing. I’ll have to check the manual to see if it allows for use with the tether in booster mode. You don’t use it rear facing. And you can use any recline except B in forward facing mode as long as the recline indicator shows it in the correct range

I hope the tags were still attached! Make sure it’s in date. It’s hard to tell if car seats fr thrift stores are safe since you don’t know the history or wash routine of the previous owner

It is a disappointment but it’s what makes it lighter and cheaper.

Thank you!

Hi- I’m not home to go mess with the canopy on my seat but there should be a way to detach it where it meets the shell of the seat. I’ll look when I’m home.

Did you figure it out

There are tabs near where the canopy meets the car seat that you push while you pull the canopy off.

You're welcome!

I'm glad it helped!

This seat cannot be used with lap belt only. It needs shoulder and lab belt. I’m curious as to what the manual said. I’m glad the video helped you.

At 7 and 40 lbs she can use the seat as a booster. This seat does become a highback booster. You can use the lower anchors and tether but you need to store the harness and remove the crotch buckle. Then she uses the seatbelt. If you don’t use the lower anchors and tether then she has to buckle the seat in every time she gets out so it doesn’t become a projectile when she’s not in it.

The level on the side of the infant carrier has to be level when clicked into the base if baby is under 22 lbs. once baby is over 22 lbs the line on the side of the car seat needs to be level with the ground. There is no level on the base which is a huge pain. You have to click the car seat in after installing to see if it’s level.

Graco is usually longer lasting and more true to limits than safety first seats. They are also easier/more straightforward to install. But they all pass the same tests so all seats are safe if used correctly

I can make one. The top tether clips on the side of the seat near the top and the lower anchors clip on the sides.

I’m so glad it helped you!

You’re welcome!

Yes! Baby blue is for 0 months until the end of rear facing. Dark blue can it be used until 3 months.

Glad I could help!

I’m glad it helped!

It’ll probably be $5 or $10.

Glad it helped! You’re welcome.

Great deal

Where are you checking for movement? You only test at the belt path with the strength of a handshake. That being said it can be hard to tighten. This seat is difficult. I would find a local CPST to help you get it tight enough. If you haven’t tried seatbelt try that instead of the anchors as well

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome! I’m glad it helped!

I’m sorry. I’m doing it alone so I’m doing the best I can.

Yes. All car seats install with the seatbelt. Lower anchors became standard/required around 2003. But all carseats install with the seatbelt and lower anchors have a weight limit so all car seats aside from infant seats will at some point need to be installed using the seatbelt. The bigger concern is whether or not the truck has a top tether. Those were standard/required in 2001. You will not need it for rear facing in this seat but you will for forward facing once baby hits a max (height, weight or one inch above the head - Cosco requires you to max a rear facing limit before turning your child)

You're welcome!

Thanks!

No the base is not required. You can always do a baseless install. Baseless is the only way it can be installed on an airplane as well. I do it at the end of my install video for this seat. But the information is also in the manual and on the side of the carrier itself.

When the child is under the lower anchor limit (45 lbs forward facing, no limit rear facing) either is equally safe if you can get a good install. If one is easier for you to get a good install use that. Once kiddo reaches the lower anchor limit you must discontinue use of the lower anchors.

At the front of the seat there is a strap hanging down (where babies feet for when in the car) At the top of the strap where it meets the car seat is a lever. You push that lever down and pull out the straps with your other hand at the same time. To tighten you pull that strap. Make sure the head rest is low enough for the straps to fall below the child’s shoulders for rear facing.

I’m sorry. Is there anything specific I can help with? This isn’t my favorite seat but it’s workable if you already own it. If you don’t I would look at a century carry on lx or evenflo nurture max

You're welcome!!
