How to really install a baby car seat. The Guide that works!

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

I like to call it the reality check guide because no amount of instruction or well made product is going to show you how to actually install a car seat. Even though the instructions are indeed thorough, the manufcaturers of baby car seats have forgotten to take something very crucial into the installation equation.

What they forget to think about, or at least mention is the most obvious. Vehicles! They come in all sorts of sizes, styles and shapes and this means that the seats inside are also different. What this means is that no matter how well you follow the recipe, your new baby car seat does not quite fit right.

There are plenty of services that you can use to install your baby car seat for you, but I am against this and its all about saving money and being sensible

There have been a lot of car seat models and a lot of different cars over the years, and I have had to install and remove the car seat in each one on many occasions. What I have learned is that each situation calls for a different approach, and only through trial and error have I figured out what works best. I give you my best tips.

There are services available that will install your baby car seat for you , but I think you should install it yourself because at some stage you are going to have to remove it for cleaning so you may as well learn how to put it in right in the first place.

In some cases, like with my old Volvo for instance- the seat will fit perfectly the moment you install it, and in this case you are laughing. You have the perfect car and baby seat combination and nothing further needs to be done. If this is not the case however, read on.

THe secret is in the towel, and as silly as it sounds, this simple fix can make the seat go from being a little wobbly to totally secure and safe. But sometimes the fix is even more simple than that.

The reason for the baby carseats not fitting securely is to do with the shape of the backseat of the car, and because the baby seat is designed with a curve, if the angle on the backseat is not right, the baby seat will not install or be fitted correctly, regardless.

The obvious fix comes from looking at the seat itself and more so the rocker bar at the back. A lot of the toddler seats have these to allow the seat to incline more or less and by simple removing this completely, you take any and all wobble out of the seat, allowing it to be installed more securely.

There are many guides and tips you can use on how best to install your baby car seat, but when it comes down to it logic really is the best thing you can apply through the process. Always keep the child’s health and safety in mind and keep within the law as well of course.
