Installing a car seat base can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. With the right tools and instructions, installing a Graco car seat base is a breeze. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to install a Graco car seat base without the latch, so you can get your car seat installed fast and without hassle.
What You’ll Need
To install a Graco car seat base without latch, you’ll need the following items:
-Graco car seat base
-Phillips head screwdriver
-Tape measure
-Screwdriver bit for Phillips head screwdriver
-Ruler or straight edge
-Paint or a sealant to protect the paint on your car’s surface
1. Start by removing the four screws that hold the base onto the car. Be sure to keep the screws! They will be needed later.
2. Flip the base over so that it is facing down and align the four holes on each side of the base with those on the car.
3. Using the Phillips head screwdriver, drive in the screws from step one into these holes until they are tight. Do not overtighten as this can damage your car’s surface.
4. Once all four screws are in place, flip the base back over so that it is facing up and reattach it to the car using the same screws that were used in step three. Be sure to tighten them again just enough so that they don’t rattling around but don’t overdo it as this can also damage your car’s surface.
5. Reattach any other accessories (if applicable) and you’re ready to go!
How to Install Graco Car Seat Base Without Latch
If you are installing a Graco car seat base without a latch, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure the car seat is level. If it isn’t, your child’s head may bang against the roof of the car while you’re driving. Second, use pressure to push down on both sides of the car seat until it clicks into place. Third, use the Latch Remover tool if your car has one and detach the Latch from the bracket. Finally, press down on each side of the car seat base until it clicks into place and reattach the Latch to the bracket.
Tips for a Secure Installation
Secure Installation of a Graco Car Seat Base
If you’re installing your car seat base yourself, here are some tips for a secure installation:
1. Secure the wobbly parts with screws or bolts. If the base is loose, it will move around in the car and could cause injury.
2. Make sure the base is level and straight before screwing it to your car seat. A crooked or off-center base can create uncomfortable positioning for your child.
3. Check the fit of the car seat base on both your car’s seat frame and the vehicle’s interior trim pieces. The base should fit snugly but not too tight, so it won’t come loose over time. If it’s too loose, you may be able to tighten it by turning screws located near each corner of the base (see picture below).
