Whether you're installing a rear-facing infant seat, a front-facing car seat or a booster seat, it's really important that you know what you're doing during installation. The safety of your child depends on it. Here are some tips that we here at Genesis of West Knoxville have to offer you when you're about to install a new seat into your automobile.
- Always use the instruction booklet that came with the car seat you're installing.
- Use your owner's manual to make sure you're using all of the proper anchors and tethers that your vehicle has been manufactured with.
- The seat belt should be locked if you don't have an anchor system to work with.
- The reclining angle of the seat should be far back enough that your child won't tilt forward.
- When installation is complete, use all of your strength to attempt to move the seat. If you've installed it the right way, it won't budget.
