Yes, the bases can be lifted up some in front, but that is ok. In the vehicle that has the LATCH system, you use either the LATCH or the seatbelt but not both. I recommend using the LATCH if you have it - generally easier to get right. And finally, note that frequently putting a car seat in is a two-person job. We have one seat that there is no way one person can get it in tight enough by themselves - you have to have one person basically kneeling on the seat and doing the top strap and the other one pulling the seat strap tight.

In my area, it was the police. It is likely they've installed them a lot before. One thing you should do is get a swimming pool "noodle" or two to bring with you. Sometimes they use these to wedge between the car seat and the base if the fit is a little off. The front of the base does indeed sort of float free. That is OK.

Really like you said have the hospital or fireman check it out if that makes you feel better. But no you are not missing something, Unfortunantely you have done it correctly in the explorer. in your husbands car just the latch is all that is required.

When I had my first son I had an 87 celica (2 door) tiny car and near impossible to climb in and out of the back to put my weight into the backwards car seat to strap it down, so I'd always push the front seat back as far as it would go to hold it in place that way too.

So you could wait until you have the baby and before you leave the hospital you can get a nurse out there to help. OR if you want it done now, take it your local police department or fire station, they would be more then happy to help. Car seats are such a pain in the butt to get installed into a car the right way lol, i have problems with mine, now since its been in my car i always say hey lets take my car because i dont feel like taking my car seat out and fighting with it lol. Good luck and congrates on the baby! EDIT! wow you got quit rude. Well all the hospital's in my state do including childrens merecy hospital.

There were all these problems with their carseats and went unreported and graco refused to have them recalled. Sweety, use the seatbelt and not the base. Graco carseat bases aren’t safe.

She liked the backpack part and didn't seem to mind the tether at all. The only complaint is similar to others listed that the chest strap does slip up and does not stay in place. I am considering sewing or tacking it down somehow to help it be better but I still like it and will continue to use it. Review by K. Weaver for Jeep 3-In-1 Backpack Harness
