Installation of base into car - Evenflo Journey Elite - Pink Lemonade Travel System Stroller

Well....it depends on if it was meant to have one or not. If it has the structure that you need underneath then all you need to do is at a swivel base to it. If the structure is not there then you will have to do a little carpentry. I would think you could use the existing structure and span it with a 2 x 12 creating the structure you need to bolt your swivel base.

Hi
This would indicate that the carseat is not correctly installed onto the base or that the base is not correctly installed into the car on the IsoFix points.

Good Day!

Here are some tips for added protections on your car seats

• Many times this type of car seat comes with a base that a carrier latches into. This actually makes installation easier because you are dealing with a rather small piece of plastic. The base and carrier should only go in the back seat, preferably in the middle, although this is not a hard-and-fast rule.

• You might need to place a shortened swimming noodle (one of the only materials CPS has certified) to level out the base, which should lie at a 45-degree angle with the carrier installed. Some manufacturers make bases that are adjustable.

• Make sure the carrier straps are tight and the harness clip is even with the baby's shoulders or armpits. Also make sure the straps are in the slot that lines up just above or closest to the infant's shoulders.

• If the child is still a bit wobbly in the seat due to her size, place rolled receiving blankets or towels along each side. This provides additional support and cushion. However, do not place anything under the harness straps.

• When the carrier is snapped into the base, the handle should be out of the way. Place it in the down position.

• Some older vehicles (especially those manufactured prior to 1997) may require the use of a locking clip. This is a small piece of metal that looks like the letter "I" on its side. Certain vehicles do not have seat belts that lock when the brakes are slammed. The clip locks the seat belt and prevents extra slippage in the event of an accident.
  

Good Morning

The Maxi Cosi CabrioFix can be fitted without any base, using the 3 point seatbelt: With the EasyFix base, using IsoFix points or 3 point seatbelt: With the EasyBase and EasyBase 2 using the 3 point seatbelt. It cannot be used with the Mico carseat base as they are not designed to be used together. The Mico is available in US and does not meet UK standards: Likewise the CabrioFix does not meet US standards so they should never be used together.

If you don't know how to fit the carseat into your vehicle using the 3 point seatbelt please check your user manual, or download a replacement copy at www.maxi-cosi.com before use go to an authorised retailer to check it is correctly installed as this will affect the performance of the carseat.

Proper installation of a car seat is imperative to protectan infant. Accidents do happen and assuring that the instructions forinstallation of the Graco Infant Restraint/Carrier are followed will increasethe chances of preventing injury or death as a result of an accident. Graco carseats are a popular choice among parents due the availability of products atcommon retail stores, affordability and user-friendly baby gear.Graco Car SeatInstallation
Step 1
Plan to secure the infant seat facing the rear inthe middle of the back seat. If a center position is not available, positionthe seat directly behind the driver's side seat. For safety reasons, therestraint should not be placed in a position where there is an air bag. Ensurethat the proper vehicle lap belt system is in place; manually adjusted lapbelts, automatic locking retractor lap belts and lap/shoulder belts withlocking latch plates are all considered safe for use with the Graco InfantCarrier/Restraint.Step 2
Remove the carrier from the Graco car seat baseby squeezing the lever at the rear of the restraint and lifting the seat up.Place the base in the vehicle facing the rear. Thread the vehicle shoulder andlap belts through openings at the end of the base without twisting the belts.Secure the belts by placing plastic tongue over the belts. Tighten the vehiclebelts by pushing down on the base and pulling out any slack.Step 3Install locking clip to secure shoulder and lapbelt together just above the seat belt buckle. Connect the two belts with thelocking clip. Buckle the lap belt system and tighten by pulling out any slack.Ensure that car seat base is secure by pulling and pushing on it; the baseshould not move sideways, forward or backward.Step 4
Place the Graco carrier in the base. Push down onthe restraint until it clicks and locks into the base. Set the infant in therestraint for travel and place harness straps over the baby's shoulders. Clickthe chest place together over the sternum and lock the buckles into placebetween the legs.Tipsand Warnings

• Contact local police departments, hospitals and fire departments to inquire about child car seat safety checks
• Graco Infant Restraint/Carrier will not protect against serious injury or death if not installed properly. Always read the Graco owner's manual that comes with product prior to attempting installation and travel with an infant.

One month old should not be in a car seat that allows for upright sitting. If it is convertible you have it in wrong. The seat should have a base unit which should be firmly fastened and the carrier should snap in and out of this base allowing you to carry your infant to and from the vehicle without having to detach the base every time you exit the vehicle. This is done so to prevent the unsafe installation of car seat under the stresses of time. If you seat is the kind that does not have a permanent base, go get one. It is very important that you do not modify the installation of any car seat for any reason. Placing a towel under the base as a barrier between the base and your seat is acceptable, but not to raise or lower the front or back as this may compromise its' design and decrease its' effectiveness. If you cannot figure it out, go to your local State Police Barracks where in most states they have a pregame designated for the safe installation of child infant seat carriers. This is very serious. The proper installation and choice in infant carriers can mean the difference of life and death in case of a relatively minor accident.

REMOVAL:

1. Disconnect the fuel hoses from the fuel pump.
2. Remove the two mounting bolts, the fuel pump and the base insulator.
   1. Scrape any old gasket material from the cylinder head.
   INSTALLATION:
   
   
   1. Install new base gasket with suitable gasket sealer applied to both sides.
   2. Install fuel pump with base insulator using the two mounting bolts. Ensure that the fuel pump lever is properly aligned with the camshaft lobe.
   3. Connect fuel hoses to their proper nipples.
   4. Start engine and check for fuel leaks.

If the base was installed by someone who put their body weight on it to get it really tight, try to do the following:

If you are able, climb in the car and place your knee in the center of the seat base and put your weight onto it. Then, at the same time, try to pinch the clip end of the latch belt (the strap part that is attached to the car seat base) and push the clip away from you (toward the seat) to remove it from the metal latch loop/ring (the part of the latch system that's actually part of your car).

If this doesn't work, you can try to loosen the strap a little while leaning on the base, and then try to push the clip forward and out of the latch ring.

The straps should have a release buckle, just pull it really hard while the carseat is removed. Its a lot easier if you put all your weight on the base like kneeling down on it while pushing the release buckle toward the crease of the seat and alternating weight on the base. Good Luck, and remember, you can always cut and replace the belt if necessary!!:)
