    Thank you so much for your video and step by step help. I bought these for my grandchild (one for us, one for out Son) and I have to tell you the instructions are not as instructional as this video. I followed your steps for facing forward using the latch and it came out perfect. She was getting a little big for backward facing. After struggling for a bit trying to secure if forward facing, I gave up and looked for a UA-cam video. Yours is the best one I’ve come across! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤

    I noticed you said 2 OR 22 pounds. Children need to rear face till 2 even if they are already 22 pounds :) Ideally children should rear face till they max out of the rear facing height and weight as long as they are over 2.
    Very informative and well made video

    • @laithal-mansuri9003
      @laithal-mansuri9003 3 роки тому +2

      You are incorrect. Via the doctors office and local fire departments here in Washington state once they are 22lbs and a certain height its recommended to forward face them. My son is 34” tall at 18 months at 28lbs its no longer safe for him to rear face as he could break his pelvic floor if in an accident.

    • @christiebrechbill3230
      @christiebrechbill3230 2 роки тому +3

      @@laithal-mansuri9003 I am a CPST, you are incorrect. Doctors are almost never up to date with current national highway safety standards. If at all. And not all fire departments are clear on car seat safety either; only CPST’s.
      There are lots of car seats on the market to accompany children of higher weights and heights; at 18 months a child’s bones are not fused completely. Internal decapitation is at an incredibly high risk for a child that young. When measuring for height put your child’s bottom on the floor and measure his bottom to top of his head for car seat height limits.
      Graco extend2fit I’d a favorite due to its high rear facing limits of 50 pounds and 49 inches, which even for a 99 percentile child is an average of 5 years old.
      Never listen to pediatricians for car seat technician related inquiries. And just because it’s a fire station does not mean they’re car seat certified.
      Also, there is absolutely no evidence that rear facing till you max out the seat limits causes pelvic floor injury? As long as the seat is used within the limits and the crotch buckle is properly placed your child’s pelvic floor will remain comfortable and unharmed.
      I’d find a new pediatrician ASAP.
