How to Install a Graco Click Connect Car Seat Rear Facing
Installing a Graco Click Connect car seat rear facing can be a breeze with the right tools and instructions. Follow these simple steps to get started:
1. Remove the old safety belt from your child’s lap and unbuckle them from the car seat. You may also need to remove the infant insert, depending on your car model.
2. Install the new safety belt around your child’s waist and adjust it to fit snugly. Be sure to buckle it tightly, especially near the buckle point. If you have an infant insert, install it now using the bracket provided.
3. Clip or screw in the shoulder strap anchors into the frame of the car seat. If your car has side-impact protection, you will also need to secure these anchors using screws or clips (depending on your vehicle).
4. Install Graco Click Connect base by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Start by aligning it so that its markings line up with those on the car seat. Then press down firmly until it clicks into place…and that’s it! Your new Graco Click Connect car seat is ready for use!
What to do if your car does not have a rear facing seat
If your car does not have a rear facing seat, you can install a Graco Car Seat Rear Facing Click Connect from the back of your car. Here is how to do it:
1. Locate the click connect base on the back of the car.
2. Remove the existing rear-facing child restraint harness and attach the click connect base to the vehicle.
3. Insert your child into the car seat and fasten their safety belt. The harness should fit loosely enough that it can be adjusted as needed, but should not be too loose or too tight. You may also want to adjust the shoulder belts according to your child’s size and weight.
4. Push down on both ends of the handle until they lock into place (see picture below). This will secure your child in place while you drive.
