Baby Car Seat Installation Guide. How to make them actually Fit

I call it the reality check guide because no amount of engineering brilliance or perfect instructions is going to show you how to actually install your baby car seat into your car. Sure the instructions are well written and the process seems straight forward enough, but the manufacturers fail to take something major into account.

Cars! They come in all shapes and sizes and with this unique design comes different interior layouts and seat shapes, resulting in baby capsules and infant booster seats that never quite sit how they are supposed to – no matter how well you follow the instructions.

There are services that can install your baby car seat for you but I recommend learning how to do it yourself. Not only do you save your money, but at some point you are going to have to remove the car seat for cleaning so you may as well learn how to do it right the first time.

I have installed and removed countless models of child seats into a dozen different types of vehicles and I have found first hand that each seat and each car requires a different approach, and only through trial and error have I learned the right way and the wrong way to approach the installation of your baby seat.If you have ever had to clean a carseat then you will know that It’s a regular ramadama dingdong trying to figure out what that mess actually is. I now share this knowledge with you in this ‘guide to installing a baby car seat’ The Reality Check.

The services that install your carseat always seem to make the seat fit snug when you leave, but soon after you notice how unsecure it feels, and that is why I am against these install services

In some cases, like with my old Volvo for instance- the seat will fit perfectly the moment you install it, and in this case you are laughing. You have the perfect car and baby seat combination and nothing further needs to be done. If this is not the case however, read on.

The Towel is the answer or modification you need and this usually stops the seat from wobbling too much, which is of course the problem you are encountering. But sometimes there is a more obvious fix.

The reason for the baby carseats not fitting securely is to do with the shape of the backseat of the car, and because the baby seat is designed with a curve, if the angle on the backseat is not right, the baby seat will not install or be fitted correctly, regardless.

The rocker bar is a plastic insert that some models utilise that allows the seat to go from slightly inclined to more upright, and this bar sticks out from the natural curved frame of the seat itself. By removing this bar completely (this is easily done) you can eliminate any rocking motion that the seat had previously as it now fits snugly with the upright seat of the car

There are many guides on how to install an infant or child car seat, but it really comes down to following the instructions and if there is still some wobble in the seat, applying a bit of logic and a towel or two. Always keep the child’s health and safety in mind and keep within the law as well of course.
