how to install a car seat

Installing a car seat might seem as straightforward as assembling IKEA furniture, but with a bit more life-or-death stakes. First, consult your car seat manual and your vehicle's handbook—yes, actually read them. Use either the seatbelt or the ISOFIX anchors; never both unless the seat says so. Ensure the seat is snug, with less than 2.5 cm of movement side to side. Finally, check the angle to keep your tiny human safe and comfy. For a hands-on tutorial, local fire stations or hospitals often offer fitting checks.
