Car Seat

When did you or are you planning on setting up the car seat in the car?

Re: Car Seat

DH just did it this past weekend. He used the Latch system, and it doesn't seem very secure side to side Chat Icon
Anybody else have this problem? DH is going to take it somewhere where they inspect car seats.

Re: Car Seat

I almost have two weeks left and DH put the car seat on about two weeks ago.

Anniegr-to answer your question, I agree with you that the latch system is not secure. We have two car seats for both of our cars and they move side to side. I asked my sister and a friend of mine if they had the same problem and they said yes. So I am assuming it's normal.

Re: Car Seat

If you want, you can install the seat using the seatbelt. My car is a 2002 and it just missed being installed with the Latch system. It did however have the hook (anchor) on the top in the backseat, so we hooked it up to that and then just used the seatbelt. It didn't budge an 1/8" of an inch. You don't have to install it by the latch. I had my DH install it because you have to kneel on the base and then tighten it at the same time, so since he did it, it didn't move once! Good luck!

Re: Car Seat

I took it to the 2nd precinct a couple of weeks ago. they will install them for free as a public service. they do it one day each month. I felt much better knowing that it was done right. no second guessing. You just have to call ahead for an appt and provide them with what type car seat it is and the make and model of the vehicle. It was terrific!

In Nassau, they told me the program was only out of the second precinct. I found out by calling. So I would say call first and they'll tell you.

I went to Garden City and had it done....they do it one Saturday morning every month.

Bedda call your local police station and ask them
