Safely Remove Your Graco Car Seat Before Driving
Be sure to safely remove your Graco car seat before driving. Here are four easy steps:
1. Remove the restraint straps
2. Unbuckle the safety belt
3. Lift the car seat off the base
4. Pull out the anchor strap
Install the Graco Car Seat in Your Vehicle
If you have a child who is 4 years old or younger, you should install them in a car seat that is approved for use in your vehicle. A Graco car seat is a good option for this age range, and it’s very easy to install with the help of a seat belt. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the car door and get your child out of the carseat if they are already in it.
2. If your child isn’t already in the carseat, put them in it now.
3. Locate the shoulder belts on both yourself and your child and buckle them up together as close to their bodies as possible.
4. Pull the fabric out from between the headrests on either side of your child’s chair and insert it into the corresponding slots on each side of your vehicle’s headrests (the fabric should be tucked behind these cushions).
5. Push each arm rest up until it clicks into place at its base, then tighten by hand (or using the adjuster strap provided).
6. Insert one end of the tether strap through one of the loops at the bottom of each arm rest and tie tightly enough so that it won’t come undone while driving but not so tight that it restricts movement or breathing (you can release this knot once you’re safely parked).
7. Repeat steps 5-7 with the other end of tether strap, then make sure
Secure the Child Seated In The Car Seat with the Seat Belt
Installing a car seat with a seat belt is important for both your safety and the safety of your child. Make sure to follow these instructions to install your graco car seat with a belt:
1. Remove the child from the car seat and check that he or she is properly secured in a rear-facing car seat using the harness or insert. If necessary, tighten the straps.
2. Install the car seat in the vehicle according to manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to orient it so that the buckle faces forward and toward the front of the vehicle.
3. Securely fasten the carseat’s belt by clicking and pulling it tight until it feels snug against your child’s body. The lap portion of the belt should be between his legs, not over them. You may need help from another person to do this.
Tips for Safely Attaching a Car Seat Belt to a Graco Car Seat
1. Always use the correct safety belt size for your child’s car seat. Graco recommends using a safety belt that is at least two inches wider than the lap belt of your vehicle.
2. Verify that your car seat and its base are correctly installed in the car. Graco recommends having a mechanic check the installation before every use.
3. Make sure to attach the shoulder straps properly by pulling them snugly across your child’s chest and clipping them at the ends of the shoulder strap guides on either side of the car seat. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for attaching these straps, which may vary depending on your particular carseat model.
4. Use a window or sunshade card to secure your child in their car seat when getting out of the vehicle, and return it to its storage location once you’re safely inside again.
