When you are using a car seat, it is important to make sure that the base is level. This will ensure that the car seat is in a stable position and doesn’t move around while in use. If the base of your Graco car seat is not level, it can cause the car seat to tilt or rock during use, which can be dangerous for your child. To fix this issue, follow these steps: 1) Try moving the car seat around to check if it is level from front to back and side to side. 2) If the car seat is not level, try adjusting the footrest by turning it either left or right. 3) If step 2 does not solve the problem, you may need to adjust the base of the car seat.
What You’ll Need
In order to level a Graco car seat base, you will need the following:
-A level
-A straightedge
-Tape measure or ruler
-Hammer or screwdriver
-Plywood or untreated lumber
-Circular saw
-Drill and bit for screws (optional)
1. Start by measuring your car seat base from the floor to the top of the anchor bracket. This is usually around 18 inches.
2. Next, mark a line on your straightedge at that height, making sure to draw a straight line.
3. Next, use your tape measure or ruler to create a second line at the same height as your first line but a little further down. This will be your new baseline.
4. Now comes the tricky part: You want to move your car seat so that it is sitting on top of both lines, with its bottom bracket resting on top of your baseline line and its backrests resting on top of your upper line. Make sure everything is level before moving on!
5. Once everything is in place and level, use your hammer or screwdriver to screw in the screws if you’re using them (not necessary if you’re using plywood). Be careful not to overdo it – you only need a few screws per side! [image src=”https://i1.wp.com/jojojojojojojojojomommaes
