In this article, we will show you how to put a Graco Extend2Fit car seat back together so that you can get your baby or toddler safely seated in the car and off of your furniture.

How to put a Graco Extend2Fit car seat back together
Looking for instructions on how to put a Graco Extend2Fit car seat back together? Our guide will show you everything from the initial installation to removing and re-installing the harness. Plus, we’ll highlight any special tools or tips that you may need along the way.
Begin by locating the two Phillips screws that hold the base of the car seat in place. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove these screws, then gently pull the base off of your car.
Next, position the Extend2Fit on your car’s seatbelt backing, making sure that all clips are in place. Match up the slots on each side of the car seat and insert each clip through its respective hole. Push down on each clip to secure it in place.
Position the shoulder straps over your child’s chest, distributing their weight evenly across both straps. Make sure that they’re tight enough so that they won’t move around but still comfortable enough for your child to wear.
Lastly, attach the waist belt by threading it through one of the belt loops on each strap and pulling it tight. Make sure that it’s positioned low on your child’s hips so that it won’t interfere with their movement during travel. Congratulations! You’ve successfully put a Graco Extend2Fit back together!
What are the parts of a Graco Extend2Fit car seat?
The Graco Extend2Fit car seat is composed of five parts: the base, the weight and height limits indicator, the headrest, the shoulder belts, and the straps. The Graco Extend2Fit has a 5-point harness system with a tightening mechanism on each side clip to ensure a secure fit for your child.
To install the car seat, unfold the base. Fit it against your vehicle’s backseat and make sure that both weight and height limits indicators are lined up against the appropriate window. Fasten both sides of the vehicle’s clips into place. Next, attach the headrest by threading one end through two holes on either side of the headrest and then tucking it in behind your child’s ears. Finally, adjust both shoulder belts to fit comfortably around your child’s upper body and tighten them using the buckle-lock system.
How to put the car seat back together
If you have ever struggled to put your Graco ExtendFit car seat back together, you are not alone. Putting the car seat back together can be a challenge for even the most experienced parents. Here is a guide on how to put the car seat back together in just minutes!
To start, unfold the car seat base and locate the latch mechanism. On some models, this may be a metal “peg” that slides into a hole on either side of the base. On others, it may be a rotating clasp. Insert one peg into each hole and rotate the clasp until it latches in place.
Now unfold the shoulder straps and attach them to the front of both sides of the base. Make sure that they are facing forward and away from your child’s body. If your child has an infant insert, make sure that it is snapped in place before securing the straps.
Now unfold both of the canopy sections and lay them over top of the shoulder straps. Make sure that they are aligned so that there is minimal space between them and pin them in place with their Velcro tabs along each edge.
Finally, fit both child restraint connectors onto either end of each canopy section and snap them into place using their button-style clips (or use 2 mechanical fasteners if available). You now have yourself a correctly assembled Graco ExtendFit car seat!
