You do need to make sure that your anchor spacing in your vehicle is correct. There must be exactly eleven inches from the middle of one anchor to the middle of the other anchor. If there isn’t this spacing or you don’t have anchors, then you need to use the second method- the seatbelt method.
This seat has some tricky recline rules that could possibly affect that. When in rear facing, it should only be used in recline positions 1 – 4. Also, if you’re using a seat belt installation, that can make tightening the harness with the one-pull tightener more difficult. It’s easier because if you have the car seat graco booster seat leg room extended, you have more room to work and don’t have to try and cram your poor hand behind the seat and hope for the best. It’s a little bit more challenging because the seatbelt installation is a little bit smaller than other convertible car seats. This makes it somewhat difficult to thread the belt through.
6-Position ReclineThe Extend2Fit’s 6-position recline allows you to find the most comfortable angle for your child. The Safety Restraint Coalition is designed to provide general information on child graco booster seat restraint selection and use in the United States. It is not intended to take the place of your child restraint and vehicle manuals. Please follow the manuals of child restraint manufacturers.
A different retailer selling on Amazon may charge you a fee for shipping, but most I’ve seen for baby stuff take returns. 49 in the orange section where they introduce switching to forward-facing. As far as to why they require removing the covers? It could be that it didn’t pass testing with the covers on or that there’s too much or not enough friction on the harness with the covers—we don’t know other than it’s in the manual.
Baby will also enjoy looking at his/her reflection! Carseat Seat Protector CoverYou’ll want to put one of these under each of your installed child car seats to protect your vehicle seats from spills, crumbs, and indentations. These easy-to-clean covers work in all vehicles for both rear-facing and forward-facing car seats. Thank you Heather for your detailed review and guidance.
