1. Open the car door and make sure the infant carrier is in the “rear-facing” position.
2. Rotate the connectors so they are facing down.
3. Press down on each connector until they snap into place. The connectors should spring back when released.
4. Close the door and tighten the bolts on either side of the carrier to secure it in place.
What to do if the Graco car seat doesn’t connect properly
If your Graco car seat does not connect properly, there are a few things you can do:
1. Check the connectors: Make sure all of the connectors on the car seat are plugged in firmly. The connector on the base of the car seat should be plugged into the connector on the infant’s carrier or infant insert. The two other connectors should be plugged into either side of the child’s headrests.
2. Try another outlet: If all of your other outlets are working and your car seat still won’t connect, try using a different power source near your car. You can try Plugging in your charger directly to an outlet in your garage or using a portable power adapter if you have one.
3. Reset the car seat: If all else fails, you may need to reset the car seat by unplugging it and plugging it back in again.
Graco car seat recalls
Graco is recalling millions of car seats because the harness straps can come loose and cause a child to fall out of the seat. Graco has received eight reports of children falling out of their car seats, including one death. The car seats were sold in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe from 2009 through 2015. Coroner’s reports show that in six of the eight cases where a child fell out of their car seat, the child’s death could have been prevented if they had been properly restrained in their car seat. Graco will notify owners and provide a free repair kit to fix the problem.
