Carseat help!!

[Raquel]

okay so i have the marathon (2 i may add ;) ) anywho my kids are so stinking long i'm turing it. however i tried to turn it and the base doesnt lay flat on my seat. and my latch system does NOT work.grrr!! so how in the hell do i do it. HELP PLEASE

[Marissa]

Raquel is it in the upright position? If so then what you will have to do is sit on it or push it down, the base should sit flat on the seat but it does not have to sit against the seat.

[Raquel]

yes its in the upright position. my seats are leather and kinda curved though.

[Raquel]

how do you get the seatbelt to lock in the seat? it had the things at the top but i can only get one side to lock

[Marissa]

You kind of have to force it down, if you go on their site it has a video of how to install FF maybe you will see something on there to give you the answer. Jennifer has one FF right now for CHarlize so maybe she can help

[Jennifer]

Hmmmmmm, yeah, I always put my knee in the seat, and force it down, and then use the seatbelt, and pull at the same time, to get it really really tight, and then I do the lock thing in the side.

[Raquel]

okay i think i got it. i sat in it to get it down. but then my monitor died so i'll have to do the other later. i looked in the book and i think i did it right.

[Raquel]

can you not do the recline in ff?

[Jennifer]

No, I have never used the recline FF, only RF to get the right angle.

[Raquel]

what about the anchor thing on the top?

[Marissa]

Glad you got it Raquel, it takes some might mama force :-) but doable!! and nope like Jennifer said, the recline position cannot be used with FF. You should anchor it to the appropriate place in your vehicle, since you have an Blazer I am assuming that the anchors are behind the seat on the bottom, that is how they are in my Tahoe so that might help, if not check your manual, but make sure you get them anchored :yup:

[Raquel]

where is the anchor thing? on the floor? i have a 3rd row trailblazer. i dont see it? maybe it doesnt have it?

[Marissa]

Nah it should have it it can be on the floor behind the seat or it can be attached to the back of the seat on the bottom they might even be elsewhere check your manual.

[Raquel]

okay i found it! its that hook think that i THOUGHT was part of the teether/anchor thing that i'm suppose to have. omg it worked. yay! i knew i could get the carseat nazi to help. hehehe.

[Marissa]

lol Raquel glad you found it !! yay!! :yay:

[Raquel]
