Looking for a Graco car seat base that will fit your specific vehicle? Keep reading to learn more about the different types of bases and how to choose the right one for your car.
There are two main types of Graco car seat bases: the standard base and the convertible base. The standard base is designed for use with most vehicles, while the convertible base can be used with either convertibles or SUVs. Below, we’ll cover each type in more detail.
Standard Base
The standard base is the most common type of Graco car seat base and is designed to fit most vehicles. It features a mounting bracket that installs in front of the car’s rearview mirror, and includes a shoulder strap adapter so you can use it with infant carriers as well.
Convertible Base
The convertible base is perfect for use with convertibles or SUVs. It features a unique hinge system that allows you to fold it up and store it in the trunk when not in use, making it easier to transport than a standard base. It also has an adjustable harness system that works with both infant carriers and travel systems, making it a versatile option for caregivers of multiple children.
Remove the Old Base
In order to install a new Graco car seat base, you will need the following:
-New Graco car seat
-Car Seat Base
-Installation tool
1. Remove the old base from your car by removing the four screws that hold it in place. Be sure to label each screw so that you can reinstall them correctly when you put the new base back on.
2. Install the new base onto your car by reinserting the four screws and lining up the holes in the base with those on your car.
3. Use the installation tool to tighten the screws into place.
Install the New Base
If you are considering a new car seat for your family, you may be wondering how to install the base. The Graco Click Connect Car Seat Base is a great option because it is easy to use and installs quickly. Here are four steps on how to install the base:
1. Locate the screws that secure the car seat base to your vehicle. There are usually two screws located near each side of the car seat base.
2. Remove the screws and place them in a safe location.
3. Place the car seat base on the floor of your vehicle so that it is facing forward and parallel to the front seats.
4. Position the buttons on either side of the car seat base so that they line up with their corresponding slots in your vehicle’s headrests or seats. (You may need to recline your seat in order for these buttons to line up.) Push down on both buttons at once, then lift up on one end of the car seat base until it clicks into place. DO NOT OVER-PULL! If positioned correctly, you should now see two yellow tabs appear next to each button – these will help retain pressure when using straps or clips that connect to this base
