A lot of parents do not know how to install forward facing car seat. Reading this article will put you through.
Steps to safely install forward facing car seat:
Step 1. Read the user manual. This will give you all of the information required for installation and using your child seating system, so make sure to understand each step before installing it in your vehicle.
Step 2. Securely place rear-facing infant seat into the base. Make sure that the belt is tight enough around the bottom part of the baby’s legs—it should not be able to move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back.
Step 3. Place latch connectors on lower anchor points if they are available in your vehicle (these straps are usually found behind seats; check with specific models).
Step 4. Fasten top tether strap onto an upper anchorage point by instructions provided by the manufacturer (usually located right behind headrests).
Adjust recline angle of the seat according to instructions provided by the manufacturer. Check that the harness is tight enough around your baby’s shoulders and thighs—you should not be able to pinch any excess webbing between your fingers when it passes over their shoulder, nor slide more than one finger under the waist strap at back.
How do you loosen the straps on a Britax Marathon 70 g3?
The first step is to push down on your child’s chest so that he or she can breathe. You should hear their stomachs rise and fall with each breath, which will help you confirm the correct placement of the seat belt.
If your baby is younger than one year old, place him in his back-facing car seat using the “reverse” position for babies under 20 pounds. Older children may be placed facing forward if they are at least one year old and weigh more than 22 pounds.
Then tighten them into place by pulling firmly on both sides until all slack has been eliminated from the harness system allowing no movement between your child’s shoulder blades and the back of the car seat. If your child is facing forward, you should be able to fit two fingers under the harness straps at his shoulder.
Turn over your shoulder-facing convertible car seat or stroller so that it can rest on its side without being held up by anything else other than the lap belt only if necessary.
This will help release any pressure behind the clasps and loosen them. With older children who are bigger, tighten one strap first before tightening both straps simultaneously to ensure a snug fit around their midsection for safety reasons. Then try buckling again starting with step three above mentioned steps.
Repeat this process until all slack has been eliminated from the harness system allowing no movement between your child’s shoulders blades and the back of his car seat.

It is easy to remove the seat from your car. First, release any recline positions that are locked by pulling down on the handle of the backrest.
Next, press both buttons located at either side of the booster’s headrest and lift lightly on its headrest. Pull rearward on belt path cover while unclipping hook-and-loop fasteners holding it in place at waist level against seat shell or vehicle seat cushion (depending upon model).
Detach top harness buckle tongues one strap at a time with quick click connector fully disengaged until they pop free. Disengage chest clip if used before removing carrier assembly into designated storage area within vehicle cabin for later use after the installation is complete; replace front flap over lower anchor connectors.
