Remove the current seat

If you are looking to remove the current seat from your car, there are a few different ways to go about it. The first and easiest way is to use the LATCH system. To do this, first make sure the car is in park and turn off the ignition. After that, press and hold the release button on the base of the seat until it clicks free. Next, pull up on the seat handle to remove it from the car.

If you don’t have access to a LATCH system or want to avoid removing the entire seat, you can also use a strap to secure it in place. To do this, attach one end of the strap to an anchor point near the middle of the seat back and attach the other end to something sturdy on your car. Then, pull on both ends of the strap until it’s tight enough to hold in place.

Unfasten the four clips that hold the base of the seat in place

If your car seat has four clips that hold the base in place, undo them. If your car seat doesn’t have clips, locate the two screws that hold the base on and remove them. The base should now be able to move around a bit. Slide it over the edge of your car’s seat and push it down until it clicks into place. Tighten the screws if they were removed.

Slide the base of the seat off of the car

If your car’s base seat has a metal clip that slides off, it’s easy to attach a Graco car seat to the car with this method. First, remove the child restraint from the base of the seat. Next, slide the metal clip off of the base and place it on top of the child restraint. Hook the restraint into the clip and tighten it down. Finally, slide the base of the seat back on to the car and tighten any screws that hold it in place.

Slip the new Graco car seat onto the car and fasten it in place with the four clips

1.Slide the new Graco car seat onto the car and fasten it in place with the four clips.
2.Be sure to adjust the height and tilt of the harness to fit your child correctly.
3.Make sure that your child’s head and body are aligned in the correct position before securing them into the car seat with their buckles.

Reattach the base of the seat to the car using the same clips that were removed in step 2

1. If the clips that were removed in step 2 are still attached to the base of the seat, carefully peel them away with a sharp knife.

2. Reattach the base of the seat using new screws and matching nuts that were provided in step 1. Match up the screw holes on the car seat and on the base, ensuring that they are lined up correctly. Tighten each screw until it is snug, but do not over-tighten as this could cause damage to either device.

3. Slide the seat into place and tighten any remaining screws in a similar manner.
