Tip On How To Easily Tighten Strap
April 30, 2018
I have had this seat for a couple of years now and love it. I agree with the other reviews that the strap at the base of the seat between the child's knees which tightens the straps that go over their torso, chest and shoulders is pretty darn hard to pull. Please don't allow this to deter you from buying the seat, it's a minor inconvenience for the best safety for your kid. TIP = If the car seat is on the passenger side rear seat, sit in the drivers seat, facing forward, reach back, grab the strap and pull parallel to the floor toward the front of the car. It works for me every time. The key is to keep the strap parallel as you pull away from the car seat. You can't do this if you are standing outside the car leaning in, because the back of the front seat gets in the way. If the car seat is on the drivers side rear seat, you can try from the drivers seat also, but probably easier if you try from the front passenger seat. Saving $50 - $75 and buying a car seat with less features is not worth my kids life. I will save money else where, like brown bagging my work lunch for a few weeks.
