1. Open the car seat base and insert the included shoulder belt into the vehicle’s lap belt slot.
2. Locate the head restraint and attach it by lining up the centers of the two clips.

4. Close and secure the car seat base using its latch system.
How to set up Graco Car Seat Forward Facing
First, make sure the car seat is properly installed in the vehicle. Graco recommends that the car seat be installed at least two inches from the door and rearward-facing until the child can sit unassisted in the car seat. Once your car seat is installed, adjust it to fit your child according to their height and weight.
Next, insert a label or piece of fabric into each side of the car seat to designate which direction is forward facing. Some Graco models have a latch on either side of the car seat that you press inward with your fingers to release and rotate the front facing panel towards your child.
To install Graco Car Seat Rear Facing: Rotate the front facing panel so that it is against your child’s back and replace any missing Inserts or covers. Snap or click into place anywhere there are Six (6) six point restraints provided. Make sure all straps are snug but not too tight.

Conclusion
Never know when you might need to set up your Graco car seat in a hurry, and having it facing forward can make life much easier. Here are five quick steps to setting up Graco car seats in forward-facing mode: 1. Locate the shoulder strap adjuster (it’s typically orange or yellow) on the back of the car seat. 2. Push down on this adjuster to release the shoulder straps from their slots. If your car has a second row seating, now is also a good time to release the infant carrier onto your child’s lap if it’s installed in the front passenger seat. 3. Pull both shoulder straps tightly so that they’re snug against your child’s skin and insert them through the armholes of the car seat. Make sure that the Velcro closures on each strap are lined up properly before tightening them again with your hands. 4. Positioning yourself behind the car seat, fit one leg into each of two small “foot wells” located near each side of the chair (the foot wells do not have any grips). Now step onto these well and press down firmly until you feel slight resistance – this is where you’ll find your safety pins for attaching additional padding or liner
