To answer this in detail, I need the car seat name and manufacturer. Always the best bet is to look in the original owner's manual. If you don't have this, it can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Yes, it's a great seat. All seats sold in the U.S. have to pass the same safety standards.
This one is easier to install than a lot of others I've used and fits most kids well from babyhood until at least age 3 or 4, when they'll need to move into a 5 point harness booster.
It rear-faces to 33 pounds, which is great, since rear-facing is SO much safer than forward-facing...my LARGE 26 month old can still comfortably rear-face in it.
It's not as padded and fancy as the more expensive seats, but my kids haven't found it any less comfortable than their Britax or Graco seats.
Usually you just rotate the buckle away from the strap as you push in the release button. Every carseat is a little different so your best bet is to look in the original owner's manual. if yo do not have it, it can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Most car seats have plastic clips around the edges that will come off. if you work around all the edges you can eventually get it off. The straps can be difficult to remove. Just pay close attention to how they came apart. Take pictures if you have to. They are a paint to put back if you don't.
According to common recommendations, babies have to be rear-facing until at least one year old and at least 20 pounds, whichever comes last.
The reason for this is that in case of an accident, this allows the pressure to be distributed along the entire back and neck of the baby. Some parents worry this might break the baby's legs. It's important to remember that a crash strong enough to break your baby's legs might break its neck and back if facing forward. While nobody wants their baby to be injured in any way, remember that a leg injury is much easier to recover from than back injury.
To adjust the height of the hanress you will need to turn the seat around and locate two metal, rectangular plates. These plates are attached to the harness straps and should attached with plastic tabs. you will need to remove the plate in order to change the harness height. To do so, you may need a screwdriver to loosen the tab enough to release the plate. When removed, feed the plates back through the front of the seat through the predetermined slots. Reroute the plates through the appropriate holes in the seat that best fit your child.
