Why your Baby Car Seat won't fit properly no matter what you do.

by ClaireJames

I like to call it the reality check guide because no amount of instruction or well made product is going to show you how to actually install a car seat. Even though the instructions are indeed thorough, the manufcaturers of baby car seats have forgotten to take something very crucial into the installation equation.

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 plenty of services that you can use to install your baby car seat for you, but I am against this and its all about saving money and being sensible

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.

There are services available that will install your baby car seat for you , but I think you should install it yourself because at some stage you are going to have to remove it for cleaning so you may as well learn how to put it in right in the first place.

In many instances, the seat will fit snugly without any modifications being done, and if this is what happens when you install your infant car seat, then you have no problems and should probably not even be reading this article.

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 curve allows the seat to roll back and forth, and sometimes side to side! Using a towel can fix this, but not always.

The obvious fix comes from looking at the seat itself and more so the rocker bar at the back. A lot of the toddler seats have these to allow the seat to incline more or less and by simple removing this completely, you take any and all wobble out of the seat, allowing it to be installed more securely.

There are many guides and tips you can use on how best to install your baby car seat, but when it comes down to it logic really is the best thing you can apply through the process. Always keep the child's health and safety in mind and keep within the law as well of course.
