Sonus installation with seatbelt - it's easier than you think!

Installing your car seat correctly is critical to keep your kids safe in the event of a crash. Here's a quick overview on how to adjust the harness straps and install your Evenflo Sonus car seat in rear-facing mode using the vehicle seatbelt.
Sonus limits for rear-facing:
5-40 pounds
19-40 inches
Make sure child is within both the height and weight limits, and use the car seat in rear-facing mode until your child outgrows either the height or weight, and is at least 2 years old.

Thank you for this! I struggled for 45 minutes in the hot sun, then enlisted the help of my MIL and SIL. We were doing right, just didn't trust ourselves.

Wonderful video. I was getting very frustrated with the recline angle not being correct. Knowing I can shim it to proper angle is super helpful

So glad to hear! Are there other types of car seat videos you would find helpful?

[@jessicalindzeyphillips1409]

Do you happen to know at what weight your baby needs to be to turn the carseat forward?

[@megan.hackworth]

For the Evenflo Sonus car seat, the baby has to be AT LEAST 22lbs, 28 in, AND 2 years old before they can ride in the seat facing forward. However that leaves a lot of grey area where the seat can be used either forward- or rear -facing, and the safest way to use the seat is rear-facing. So instead of rushing to turn the seat around as soon as you can, I would urge you to keep your child facing the rear until they reach either 40 pounds or 40 inches, whichever comes first. There's no maximum age for fear-facing, so many parents are able to keep their kids rear-facing until even 4 years old or so!
