Thank you, it is 8:31 PM. April 22, 2021. My brother, and I tried. Long story short we ended up youtubing how to do this. When you got to the part where you said you didn't know how we just silently looked at each other like "what now?" You saved the day. Our daughter is arriving via C-Section. Headed to the hospital now. She will be here at 7:00AM. If anyone wants to welcome her to this world. Feel free to leave comments. Thank you again.
This video came in clutch my baby and my baby momma just got discharged and I waited till last minute to put the seat in thanks to your video I was able to put the baby seat in thanks a lot
Dude! You`re a godsend! Wife & baby were cleared to come home and I spent WAY too much time trying to figure it out before I found this video. After your help I got it done in a couple of minutes.
This is a reminder that if he wanted to, he would because this man just walked himself, trial and error to instal this car seat safely, most men I know wouldn’t have tried
helping my wife give birth was easier than installing this. . set it to max height setting on the grey adjustable section, jam your knee in the fing thing on top of that grey section (there's a groove for your knee) putting all your weight on it and pull on the strap with all your might, no holding back.
So I just installed one in my car, and the trick to getting it tighter is very simple once you notice it, but the instructions suck. On the side where you can pull the strap to tighten it, put the strap through on the inside portion of the seat, then tighten it (while basically sitting on the base yourself). You'll see the base is actually designed for the tightening mechanism to nestle right up in there. Hope it helps.
Duvall Mariano how do you that because I have a baby trend car seat too and I just noticed the levers that tell you whether it’s in correct or not is showing that it’s not in right
I’m at the hospital now getting ready to get discharged with one of my twin girls and looking this thing up and down to make sure I know what I’m doing when I install it for the first time, kinda fun figuring this stuff out and thankfully I have clips in my ford focus so I won’t have to run the seatbelt through it! My biggest concern is just getting my girl home safe while having to drive on i4 I’m about to be the slowest person on the road and anxiously checking my mirrors 10 times before I merge.
By far the wildest installation video I’ve watched lol because why did you say “how do you do this” 🤣🤣🤣 don’t ask us, we thought you knew. Nah but congrats on your baby!
I like your sense of humor! Hilarious. Just became a new father of twins and I’m setting up their car seats. Yippee they could’ve made this stuff a little easier
Lol I’m watching you with this and that comment about pulling out funny dude thanks for the vid I’m figuring out my situation with my car seat rn. Thanks again.
Yeeeees! Dropping the comedy when we're both struggling with this thing was perfect. Man, thank you. This was super helpful, and I'm still smiling about it. Far from what I thought installing this would be like. Thank you. Sooo much for this video. =)
For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to detach the latches from the base 😂 I officially feel stupid & got the damned base attached! Thank you so much for this video!
Please bring your car seats by your local fire department to have them check for proper installment. When we brought ours, the FD advised against using the built in hooks. The weight rating on them in many cars is 65 lbs - weight of the seat. (Child Passenger Safety Board). Meanwhile seat belts are rated at 3000 - 6000 lbs. The car seat rating becomes the lowest rating when using a seat belt.
Thanks Matt! I seriously sat out in the backseat for upwards of 30 stress filled minutes unable to figure out how the hell to get those base clips to connect/find the kias metal hooks. Almost immediately you pointed out what should have been the obvious and bam! Base successfully installed! From one first time dad to another, you were a lifesaver. Thank you
Thank you! You just motivated me to do my own videos, after watching yours, this seemed to me more "how to learn how to install a car seat" than "How to install a car seat" lol Thanks for your time! (thumbsup!)
You are my hero. My sister is in labor and they hadn’t installed the base yet and I stared at it like “uhhh....” before finding this video. Now the base is in their vehicle nice and tight. We’re ready!!
Hey Matt you missed out one step. You need to put the car seat in base first to check if the base is at the right level. The car seat will have a spirit level guide on the side, well most do anyway.
Please for the love of all things-WORK WITH A CPST (Child Passenger Safety Technician) to learn about your car seat! This is the best video example ever of why I do what I do. Parents aren’t stupid. Parents aren’t careless. Car seats are complex, not straightforward, and literally require training to get them in safely. Hire a CPST!
First of all eww to the jackasses talking crap...he’s learning he made that perfectly clear. If you’re watching it just watch it and shut up if you didn’t figure out what you needed go to a different video 🙄 good job to him for showing his struggle 👏🏾
The front moves to make sure if you get hit hard the car seat gives so the seat absorbs the impact instead of the impact going to the child. We had a car pull in front of us at 45 mph an we couldn’t stop it destroyed the car an me an my wife were in bad shape an I was in the back seat with my son, an my son had little burns from the seat belt that was it. It needs to be able to move at the front always remember that an if u latched the car seat in to the booster correctly then that baby isn’t going anywhere. An also please make sure your straight are in the right position on your child cause it can break their ribs if you have them to low an it also can throw them out if you have them place d wrong
I installed my baby niece's carseat base as well--it was this one exactly. MY problem with this base is...why does it still lift upwards from the front? You get into a car accident, the carseat--obviously will go flying toward the backrest of the car. What is the point of having a base that just flips itself upward instead of staying locked in place?
@gstrebing2333 apparently, that's how it's supposed to be. I always had her behind my passenger seat so what I ended up doing was just pushing the back rest of the passenger seat down enough where it would essentially lock the car seat in place from the top to keep her car seat from going forward.
Man my stomach hurts. All these emotions are flooding through all at once. I mean I knew I had a kid on the way. But it’s just hitting me bc I’m trying to put this car seat in and securely
PSA- Please refer to manufacturer instructions on car Seat installations. Children die when seats aren't installed PROPERLY. Babies are safest in middle seat.

Thank you, it is 8:31 PM. April 22, 2021. My brother, and I tried. Long story short we ended up youtubing how to do this. When you got to the part where you said you didn't know how we just silently looked at each other like "what now?"

Welcome
This made my day! Your added humor and humility made me feel like I can tackle this situation! Thank you for this video!
"If you were pulling out, you wouldn't be in this situation" that is outstanding. I'm also in Washington and need to know you
When he said that i was like yeap sure as hell.
Struggling with this now, my daughter should be here any day now, but thankfully I think I figured it out. Hope father hood is going good for you man
This video came in clutch my baby and my baby momma just got discharged and I waited till last minute to put the seat in thanks to your video I was able to put the baby seat in thanks a lot
Dude! You`re a godsend! Wife & baby were cleared to come home and I spent WAY too much time trying to figure it out before I found this video. After your help I got it done in a couple of minutes.
Same!! Nurses wouldn’t even help smh
This is a reminder that if he wanted to, he would because this man just walked himself, trial and error to instal this car seat safely, most men I know wouldn’t have tried

Lmao.
Bro no fucking lie I'm here making sure I did it good but judging by this video we are in safe hands. Lol
Hey bro. 5 years later but I just got this car seat now and really appreciate this video. Couldn't figure this thing out
Thanks for the video. I guess another 14 years until you have the time to make another one.
Thanks for the video dude! Your struggle with this base also helped me figure out mine.
Have fun with fatherhood!
So I just installed one in my car, and the trick to getting it tighter is very simple once you notice it, but the instructions suck. On the side where you can pull the strap to tighten it, put the strap through on the inside portion of the seat, then tighten it (while basically sitting on the base yourself). You'll see the base is actually designed for the tightening mechanism to nestle right up in there. Hope it helps.
I just went to the Fire Dept. They showed me. Theres even special free car seat install days in some communities.
UPDATE: To tighten the base you have to raise the base to level 2 and it becomes REAL easy to tighten with little effort.
Duvall Mariano how do you that because I have a baby trend car seat too and I just noticed the levers that tell you whether it’s in correct or not is showing that it’s not in right
I’m trying to find a video that shows how to adjust base level
Thanks for that info really helpful
@@a_few_pointers to adjust the base there is a gray button were is says latch storage press down really really hard and it moves up and down
This info was much helpful. Thank you!
Good shit. Wasted about 30 minutes trying to figure it out. Then I came across this video.
The struggle is real. Thank you for this! It was both informative and humorous….🤣😂
Thank you for helping me learn how to carseat and getting a laugh or two as well!
Glad I'm not the only pregnant mom trying to hold off on a meltdown over installing this damn thing
I am going through this right now! Our daughter arrives in about a month! Thanks for the video!
🤣🤣🤙🏾🤙🏾 if we were pulling out we wouldn't be in this situation🤣🤣🤣💯💯
Lmfao

Thanks, I have the same car seat and I am agree with you about the instructions 👍
Great video. It seems like the base flips up very easily
From one Washingtonian to another....stop apologizing for helping people with you video lol. Thankyou!!!!
For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to detach the latches from the base 😂 I officially feel stupid & got the damned base attached! Thank you so much for this video!
This video made me laugh. Thank you.
He said “come on you son of a bitch “ gold 😂
This is the funniest one so far. Great job. I had to watch this tutorial to fix mine.

Thanks for your time! (thumbsup!)
Carlos Rodriguez stop lying 🤥 I didn’t see any videos on your channel lol
MAY I SAY THANK YOU DUDE. Once I watched your video it was pretty fucking easy!
- Much love!
This helped so much .. and LOL at “if you were pulling out you wouldn’t be in this situation” 😂😂
best at 1.5x speed
You are my hero. My sister is in labor and they hadn’t installed the base yet and I stared at it like “uhhh....” before finding this video. Now the base is in their vehicle nice and tight. We’re ready!!
Did you ever figure out how to get it so tight that it doesn't wobble? That's my current dilemma.
Nice shirt/hat, btw.
-TK80386
It was a struggle but I got it in thank you!
Hey Matt you missed out one step. You need to put the car seat in base first to check if the base is at the right level. The car seat will have a spirit level guide on the side, well most do anyway.
This video saved my life lol
Funny dad ❤❤😊😊😊
Great video man. It literally felt like we were doing this together 😂
Thanks, Matt! I got a girl and it was so difficult to install the base seat but with your help, it went pretty easy.

Thanks for your help, the instructions suck. Congratulations on your daughter. My daughter was born recently. God bless you and your family.
Thank you the instructions for this thing was horrible. Got in right in my 2019 jeep Cherokee with no issues. Again 😊
First of all eww to the jackasses talking crap...he’s learning he made that perfectly clear. If you’re watching it just watch it and shut up if you didn’t figure out what you needed go to a different video 🙄 good job to him for showing his struggle 👏🏾
You can also run the cars seatbelt over the built in straps for a little extra daddy safety
Thanks @mundanedad those latches we’re kicking my ass, and a very relatable video, same car seat 2017 Kia Soul 🙏
Thank you bro for this video I was having a hard time with the instructions and honestly I had done it but I wasn't sure thanks again
Lol great video man. Helped me out a lot!
"There's just finding the hole"
lol Matt, I think the fact that you're installing a car seat means you figured that one out a while ago.
lol
I wouldn’t be so sure, it is after all his “girlfriends daughter”
Dude we are literally having the exact same experience
Thank you .it took me an hour to go through the manual and even watched an official UA-cam video. Then could have just done something like this
This helped me, and actually he did doit right. It's suppose to be snug in the back but moves in the front towards the front of the car.
He’s funny lol and it was very helpful thank you
I’m in the damn hospital rn trynna figure it out 💀
Why does the front lift up ?? I feel if I get into a roll over my baby is gonna be sent to the roof / back of the seat.
The front moves to make sure if you get hit hard the car seat gives so the seat absorbs the impact instead of the impact going to the child. We had a car pull in front of us at 45 mph an we couldn’t stop it destroyed the car an me an my wife were in bad shape an I was in the back seat with my son, an my son had little burns from the seat belt that was it. It needs to be able to move at the front always remember that an if u latched the car seat in to the booster correctly then that baby isn’t going anywhere. An also please make sure your straight are in the right position on your child cause it can break their ribs if you have them to low an it also can throw them out if you have them place d wrong
This is great Matt. First time for everything, and you'll only learn more from experience; so good luck with that. You're going to do great!
A little movement is okay at the front, less than an inch.. It helps absorb the impact, God forbid your ever in an accident
Helps if you get in the car for leverage and pull it tight like you're starting a lawnmower
Thank you for the video it was super helpful! Also have a daughter on the way (due Aug.) & a 2013 Kia Soul along with a baby trend car seat! 😂
this is not a "How To" video.. this is real comedy video of parents .. plz don't mind it... we all struggle..
Hell, I didn’t even know the new cars had the clips embedded in the seat! Thanks Pal!
This was thoroughly entertaining lol
Your a fool and half thanks for making me feel like a pro, I got it on the first time..lol
😂
I give you an A for effort, you got further than me. 👏🏾👏🏾
Who caught the pull out pun
I pulled out and I’m in this exact situation 😂
Thank you so much. I was confused with this damn thing
The pull out comment is now making 2 of us follow you.
Thanks Matt this'll be sure to use this if I ever have kids
