Does this car seat have anything that jabs the baby in the back? I've seen some reviews about it but I'm curious about your thoughts on comfort since you're clearly an expert lol
When we install the base, there is less than one inch of movement when we test it. However once we add the seat, it feels like it’s moving back and forth a lot more than an inch when we shake it. Is that normal?
Such a helpful video. Quick question- I am struggling to figure out how/if I can adjust the buckle. It pokes into my son’s thighs and I just can’t figure out how to adjust it. do you have any suggestions?
Thank you!!! We were having such a hard time getting it installed correctly. Pulling up the front of the cover and pulling the strap back through was EXACTLY what we needed to do! Just saved us from having to return for no reason! <3
Is there a way to tighten the straps? Im pulling all the way up but it still seems loose?
I think this video is assuming you buy this car seat after infancy? My son is 8 and still quite comfortable in his 4ever with zero regrets. Perhaps this is also because we are a small statured family, plus my parents have their own boosters for him so we rarely take it out of the car. I am 100% thrilled I made a one time purchase that I never have to think about again because I already have too much to think about! I vacuum it out here and there and it still looks like new. I am quite sure this video is true for some, and it’s a great thought process. But what I’m saying is, if you’ve already got a 4ever it might not be an awful fit for you/your family depending on many factors.
My pediatrician laughed at me and said "your the only one in Tennessee who has a four year old rear facing".... So I'm changing doctors.
You have good mechanics, do you train jiu jitsu? 🤔
Thank you!!!! This video is just what we needed to make sure we are strapping our son in safely
Great information
excellent video, thanks.
Tightening the straps! I feel like the padding and the rubber part are not allowing for me to get the straps snug enough. Help me 😅
Great, the lower rigid anchors were not described well in the manual, the video helped!
I am a baby educator and a child car seat safety advocate and I just found this out recently. Holy shit.
When seat is in the car, what position should the handle be in? Straight up or all the way back?
OMG! I've watched many videos on the car seat manufacturer's site but nothing was explained like this and so easy too! THANK YOU!!
watch out for burning carseats, if the sun is in the right direction these things can burn carseats.
This was very helpful I’m going to have a baby brother soon and my mom is usually busy so I’ll keep this in mind when shopping thanks! 🙏
What’s your thoughts/recommendations for general aviation(Cessnas)? Since the seatbelt geometry is different than cars. The backseat shoulder mounting is a lot lower. Sometimes there’s a 4 point harness. Taking the kids flying next month.
Por que todos hablan de 40lb hastas que tengan ese peso deven de voltiar el asiento del auto o como?
Hi, does the belt go in front of the buckle between the babies legs or behind it? I wish i could send a pic of what i mean cuz its kind of confusing. But i use the seatbelt method thru relivant belt path
Great video thanks! After watching this video, was able to install the base and car seat in less than 10 minutes.
Wow I can’t tell you how long I was yanking trying to get it tight before I watched this video!!
So glad I found this video. Somehow, my son straps got so twisted. I didn’t think to go to the back and re-thread it again. So smart.
Watched this video about 5 times just to still have to rewatch when I bought the seat. Thank you Michelle!!! We were about to give up on it 😅
What
Thanks for your videos, they help a lot! Do you have any recomendations on colour selection for a seat? I'm buying a nuna exec for a second car but I'm not shure if I should take the grey (granite) or black (caviar). I like the looks of the gratine more but I'm concerned it can hold many stains in the long run. Thanks again!
You might be able to see, it’s can’t see what you mean by “in front” of the lower anchor strap. Do you mean to the back or front of the car?
Don't all Graco car seats have flame retardant chemicals, which have been linked to various health issues?

Thanks so much for creating this video. Super helpful; I subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing and I'm glad you found it helpful!
Wow
Thanks for watching!
Can you recommend a good booster seat. Or criteria to assess a good booster seat?
I have a free car seat finder tool that will help you with this question: carseats.safeintheseat.com/find-your-best-car-seat
And where do we put the groceries? What if we have a baby and 2 toddlers? Where do they all go if the groceries go in the top?
A better option than this is to wear the baby in a wrap/carrier. You could get a shopping cart that has 2 seats to fit the toddlers. Alternatively, you could try grocery pickup! It's a great option for caregivers who have multiple children
Is there any info on crash test ratings? Which is safer in that scenario ?
They have both passed the required crash testing. We don't have the crash test results available for either of these seats.
our carseat is in a LESS reclined position when installed. everything is green - perfectly aligned and we've checked 20 times. he's sitting too upright in my opinion but the carseat is properly installed.
If you are concerned, feel free to schedule a consult with us or you can see if the car seat manufacturer offers video chats. A handful of them do offer that service.
So I have a Clek Liing and bought it partially because of the load leg. But we drive a van with stow-and-go seats. Can I actually not use the load leg?? And if not, which is the best way to install this seat?? Can I still use the base and rigid anchors? Thanks!
You will have to check your vehicle owner's manual, but typically you cannot use the load leg. You just install with either the rigid lower anchors or the seat belt. You can use the base, but store the load leg.
Thank you! I checked my vehicle's manual and there's no info about load legs at all. But looking elsewhere online, it looks like the stow-and-go seats don't allow for the use of the load leg. Unfortunate, but at least I can still use the rigid anchors. Thanks!
I don’t know if this is the right place for questions but If I have this car seat then do you know what type of stroller I need?
This car seat cannot attach to a stroller. If you need a stroller from birth, find one with a bassinet. If not, choose whichever stroller you like the best.
Thank you!!! Worked perfectly
Great!
How much does the car seat without wheels weigh?? I’m in between the dual ride and a Nuna urbn trvl lx
It's around 11 pounds
Awesome video. The links were extra helpful and I’ve subscribed
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Which cart works with the Cosco finale?
Any of them should be fine. They are all quite universal.
Thank you for your insight on traveling with car seats! I have a 4 1/2 Year Old who is 41”, 38 Lbs. I'm having a tough time deciding between the Evenflo Maestro Sport and Safety 1ˢᵗ Comfort Ride for them. Which would you go with?
Whichever one you find cheaper when you go to buy it as they both last a similar amount of time for most kids. We haven't had good luck with the backless booster mode of the Comfort Ride fitting kids, so neither seat would be the last one you need. The Maestro is only good in harness mode and has 50 lbs/50" limits, but a tall harness height. While the Comfort Ride works well in both harness and high back booster mode, but has a much shorter harness height. You might want to measure the child's torso height before buying as well. The Comfort Ride has a max torso height of around 16.5" and the Maestro's is about 18." The Comfort Ride's high back booster mode can be used until a torso height of around 18.5."
@@safeintheseatThank you! I think I'll go with the Maestro Sport :)
This seat is so annoying. I can’t get it flat. When it is it just slips down. What should I do
Clek does free video chats for installation help, so I think that would be a good option to check out!
Oh my goodness I wish I would’ve found this video at least a year ago. I was literally on UA-cam looking up different car seats reviews because I was considering getting rid of it because the buckle would pinch my daughters legs every time I buckled her in and she would end up with indentations in her thighs. Thank you so much for posting this. I just adjusted it and I’m hoping this solves the problem completely.
It should help!
Love this! Great mama
Thanks!
This was a really great straightforward tutorial. I was stressed about trying to figure out how to install it but you made it super easy.
Glad it helped!
What a great instructional video. Thank you so much for this!!
Glad it was helpful!
What are the hooks on each side of the Doona for? Thank you 😊
