These tips from our team at Tapper Ford in Paw Paw, MI should ensure the safe installation of your child's car seat.
Your rear-facing infant car seat should be installed in the backseat's center—far from side-impact airbags for maximum safety. Before installation, ensure your vehicle's lower anchors are not obstructed and are easy to access. Trust us
this simple precaution could save your baby's life! If you require further information or assistance, please refer to your vehicle manual or contact the dealership for clarification.
Finding the designated spot for your car seat, route the belt through the recommended path of your vehicle's manual and buckle it with both lap and shoulder parts. Tighten up firmly to ensure there is no slack in between. If you can move the seat more than an inch from its original position, then it requires further tightening.
Securely attach your car seat connectors to the lower anchors provided, and make sure they meet manufacturer requirements. Pull on each side of the base to check for any signs of looseness or movement before driving off to ensure it is safe.
