We all know that car seats should be moved every two years to keep them in compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS). But what exactly does this mean for you and your car seat? In this blog post, we will explore the basics of FMVSS and how it applies to car seats. We will also outline the steps you need to take to move your seat every two years.
How to move a car seat
If you are moving a car seat from one vehicle to another, follow these simple steps:
1. Remove the car seat from the old vehicle.
2. Check that the car seat fits properly in the new vehicle. If it does not, adjust the straps or move it to a location that is more comfortable for the child.
3. Install the car seat in the new vehicle using the installation instructions provided with your product.
4. Secure the car seat using the clips or straps.
Tips on moving a car seat
When it comes to moving a car seat, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. The first is to make sure the car seat is properly secured in place. This can be done by using the straps or buckles that come with the seat, or by using a harness if the car seat does not have straps.
Once the car seat is secure, you’ll need to move it from one location to another. You can do this by lifting it up and carrying it with one hand, or by tipping it over and pulling it out. Make sure to pay attention to the car’s restraints in order not to damage them.
Finally, always wear gloves while moving a car seat, as they will protect your hands from potential injuries.
How to move a car seat using the Latch system
If you need to move your car seat from one car to another, or if the seat needs to be moved from a stationary location to your vehicle, use the Latch system.
There are two latches on either side of the car seat that you will need to unlatch.
Next, pull the car seat out until it is free from the base.
Insert the car seat into the new location and latch both latches into place.
How to move a car seat using the tether strap
Step 1:
Attach the tether strap to the car seat’s base.
Step 2:
Pull the car seat towards you until it snaps into place.
Step 3:
Release the tether strap and walk away from the car seat.
How to move a car seat without having to remove it from the vehicle
There are a few different ways to move a car seat without having to remove it from the vehicle. The easiest way is to lay the car seat down on its back and move the base of the car seat towards the door. Then use your hands to pull up on the car seat itself until it pops out of the base. You can also use a strap to help pull the car seat out. Another option is to use a cart or dolly. Place the car seat on top of this, and then use your hands to pull it towards you until it pops out of the cart or dolly.
