How to attach the base
To attach the Graco car seat to your vehicle, you’ll need the car seat’s installation base and the car seat’s harness straps. First, install the installation base onto your vehicle using the included screws. Next, attach the harness straps to each side of the installation base. Finally, fit the child safety belt around your child and buckles them into the safety belt slots on either side of the installation base.
How to attach the headrest
Instructions:
1. Open the Graco car seat by releasing the four latches on each side of the base.
2. Spread the arms of the car seat so that they’re at their full extension and place them over the front and back support poles of your vehicle.
3. Push down on each arm to secure them in place.
4. Make sure that the headrest is in its longest position and slide it into place above baby’s head.
5. Reattach the two shoulder straps by pressing down on each end and pulling through the slots on either side of the car seat.
How to attach the shoulder straps
1. Start by locating the shoulder straps on each side of the car seat. They should be easily accessible by either unfolding them or pulling downwards on a plastic clip.
2. Slip one strap over your shoulder, then thread it through the opposite strap. Make sure that both straps are tight against your body.
3. Repeat the process for the other side, and you’re ready to go!
How to adjust the height
If you have a Graco car seat that is lower than your vehicle’s headrest, you can adjust the height of the car seat using the LATCH system. To adjust the car seat’s height, first remove it from the vehicle and unfold it. Next, open the LATCH system by pressing down on both latches at once and pulling up on the handle. The shoulder straps should automatically unlatch from their anchors and will hang down. Lift one shoulder strap until it is at or below your child’s shoulder, then secure it with the Velcro lock. Repeat for the other shoulder strap. To return the car seat to its original height, press down on both latches at once and pull up on the handle. The straps should automatically lock into place.
