I just put some blankets down in the bed of my truck it works great
Not a very good video they need to start right from the beginning not where
its already in place so the first step is not covered at all.
i had the same problem, just get a jumbo pool noodle and put it under the
gap behind the lip on the bottom of the car seat, not under the lip as
shown here. Also if you put your knee in the seat you can get a tighter
install then their way. With the combo of these two I have like .25″ of
movement if any at all. Let me know if you need more help. Mine was safety
checked by police and is fine.
you would have less problems and less work with getting this properly
installed is if you actually locked the seat belt (Which NEEDS to be done
any way) before clicking it in. If the seat belt is not locked no matter
how “tight” you got it, it’s still not safe in an accident.
You do know that car crashes are the leading cause of both disability and
death for children under 12 years of age, right?- it is the leading killer
for a reason! Even IF car seats are ineffective it is because car seats are
installed/used improperly! Statistics show that 95% of car seats are
installed loosely have a loose harness. If you install it bad, it properly
is as good as a seat belt. You win the parenting of the year reward.
Too much lecturing. I need to know step by step how to run the belts on my
peg perego. Also check out the chapter on car seats in the 2nd installment
of “Freakonomics”. Car seats are basically a racket founded on fear
mongering. Statistics show that an expensive car seat is not any more
effective than using a seat belt for kids age 2 or older. I agree that car
seat is important before age 2 but after age is BS that was forced on us by
paranoid parents and lobbyists.
Is everyone aware that foward facing before the age of one year is illegal?
@theL0veLyMrsKush She actually said “Dan has switched the belt, cause we
need a locking mechinism.” So they actually did lock it.
what a nice quality vid :S I barely could see anything
@tspencerforhire sorry but totaly disagree with you if you put a 2yr old in
just a seat belt and then got hit that kid would be thrown out of the car
thank god for laws hopefuly for your childs sake you follow the law and
keep her safe in a car seat
Yeah, you have anti-rebound bars and rear facing tethers that attach to the
front of the rear facing car seat. Your car seats have really strict
standards which I applaud your country for, however your car seats don’t
have high rear facing limits to rear face a child longer- children in
austrailia are at a high risk of internal decapitation.
hey, you guys are using the same carseat as we are, but ours even with the
pool noodle and the rocking technique doesn’t sit level and wiggles 2-3
inches, and if i tighten the belts any more it sits sidewayswith the slope
of the shoulder belt… any idea what i’m doing wrong? i did it just as you
showed, and engagind the alm and everything, made sure the belts wern’t
twisted and i think i’m gonna throw this thing in a furnace cause i hate it
In austrilia we have very differant car seats we use the seat belt path as
well as the teather strap the anchors on the back of ur car our seats look
alot safer then some of the ones i have seen on here but i love watching
and all that gr8 guys
You don’t have to agree with me, but check out the economics book called
Freakonomics part 2. There is a chapter dedicated to the statistical
analysis of all car crashes in the US. They look at all car crashes and
fatalities for 2 year olds and older with and without seatbelts. They found
that in both cases, the fatalities and injuries were equal. However, the
car seat manufacturers and lobby would like us to believe differently.
