Yes, you are correct. Good catch. Please refer to this video to see how to properly lock the seatbelt with no slack before closing the true tension door. ruclips.net/video/rjPMHsyR-ns/видео.html
Thanks for sharing! This is really helpful. I do have a question on this, what happen if I use both latch and seat belt for installation at rear facing, will it be a concern?
With their infant car seats they say in their manual that it is okay to use both but in the RAVA manual they do not. When using both latch and seatbelt it tends to put additional pressure on the car seat base that would not be helpful in a collision.
Extend the seat belt all the way and slowly let the belt retract into the seat, you will hear clicking as it goes up. After that the seat belt should not extend anymore.
We prefer the seatbelt route because it has a height weight capacity than LATCH and you won’t have to remember to switch it later on! LATCH has a weight capacity of around 40 lbs (check your car manual) and that includes the weight of the car seat so usually by the time Baby is 25-30 lbs you’ll want to switch to seatbelt anyways so we prefer to just start with seatbelt!
I ran into a problem where I couldn’t find a tether point on the rear seats of a ford F150 crew cab. Reading the manual it says for forward facing installation you must use the tether. Any way around this?
I’ve been looking all over online and I can’t find anything about that thin black strap that is attached to the inside of the seat and to one of the LATCH buckles. Am I supposed to cut that off or keep it on?
Also, if you do install it on either side seats, is the side protection pod that you have to pop out on both sides of the car seat? And which ever side is closest to the door is what you pop out, or do you pop both of them out
It depends on the size of vehicle you have. But if your vehicle is able to accommodate the Rava in the middle seat, it isn’t necessary for both SIP pods to be out since it is far away from both sides of the vehicle.
Rear facing is going to be more comfortable because their legs will be supported, forward facing can be less comfortable because it’s the same as an adult sitting on a bar stool where their feet don’t touch the ground. Lots of kids will cross their ankles to support their legs!
I just installed my Rava. You just have to muscle it down. It feels like it's going to break but after a few openings and closings it gets easier. Honestly though probably a kinda bad design feature. Everything else about the seat it great. Baby looks super comfortable. We had a Chicco and she just always looked super scrunched up.
Thanks, nice and simple, unlike the useless manual.
Thanks - this is the clearest video on this that I’ve watched!
We are so happy to hear that! We try to make our videos clear and helpful for all!
Agreed the other videos weren’t good. This one covers all methods
This is sooo easy and clear! Thank you!
This was phenomenal. That manual is unbelievably difficult to follow
Thanks very much for the how to video, saved me from a nervous breakdown.😊
Awesome video. Took me 2 minutes to install my new sear
thank you so much! even the offical luna youtube didnt explain it
The seatbelt is supposed to be locked prior to closing the true tension door. You should take this tutorial down and upload a new one… it’s incorrect.

Thank you for this! So much more simple than other videos make installation out to be.
Thanks for the tutorial! For rear-facing, can I use both the seat belt and anchor at the same time?
VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO! WELL DONE!!
Thank you! ❤️
Excellently clear instructions! The manual is just terrible.
So glad it was helpful!!

Can you remove the vase to clean??
What does it mean to "lock off the seat belt?" 0:57

Thank you!
감사합니다. Thanks❤
What is best the latch or seatbelt method?
We prefer the seatbelt route because it has a height weight capacity than LATCH and you won’t have to remember to switch it later on! LATCH has a weight capacity of around 40 lbs (check your car manual) and that includes the weight of the car seat so usually by the time Baby is 25-30 lbs you’ll want to switch to seatbelt anyways so we prefer to just start with seatbelt!
Can you do both latch and carseat?
For such an expensive carseat you would think it would have a better latch system like graco or evenflo.
I agree the car seat is still too loose for my liking
I ran into a problem where I couldn’t find a tether point on the rear seats of a ford F150 crew cab. Reading the manual it says for forward facing installation you must use the tether. Any way around this?
Check your car manual!
Can I do both latch and seat belt ?? Or just one of the other.
I’m nervous that it won’t be secure enough 😟
No just one!
I’ve been looking all over online and I can’t find anything about that thin black strap that is attached to the inside of the seat and to one of the LATCH buckles. Am I supposed to cut that off or keep it on?
Please email Hello@babycubby.com a picture of what you mean so we can try and help you!
What did you decide? I think it's just to keep the latch with the carseat. Doesn't seem to be necessary but I'm leaving it for now.
How much weight can the forward facing LATCH system hold?
The RAVA’s the weight maximum for a child is 40 lbs when forward facing. ❤️
The seat still has slack
Can this car seat be installed in the middle seat or only the 2 side seats
Also, if you do install it on either side seats, is the side protection pod that you have to pop out on both sides of the car seat? And which ever side is closest to the door is what you pop out, or do you pop both of them out
It depends on the size of vehicle you have. But if your vehicle is able to accommodate the Rava in the middle seat, it isn’t necessary for both SIP pods to be out since it is far away from both sides of the vehicle.
front facing is not confortable for their legs right?
Rear facing is going to be more comfortable because their legs will be supported, forward facing can be less comfortable because it’s the same as an adult sitting on a bar stool where their feet don’t touch the ground. Lots of kids will cross their ankles to support their legs!
What is the maximum height for forward facing?
For the Nuna RAVA the maximum height is 49 inches and the maximum weight is 65 pounds.
can I use seat belt and latch together?
No, using the seat belt and latch together causes a dangerous amount of tension. ❤️
@@TheBabyCubby got it. I appreciate your reply.
@@demonion001 Of course! Let us know if we can help you with anything else!
Hi is this isofix car seat
No, it is not. ❤️
Can this car seat be used in a smaller car? Like a Corolla?
I'm using it with an Elantra so I think it'd be fine with Corolla also.
How do I close the cup holders? Feels like I'm gonna break them
