Steps on Converting Safety 1st Car Seat To Booster Seat
Remove the harness straps before beginning the process of turning your Safety First car seat into a booster.
Using scissors or simply tearing them off, make sure you leave at least an inch of the strap intact so that it doesn’t get in the way while putting on and securing the new booster’s belt.
A new highback or backless booster can now be attached in their place after the old harness straps have been removed.
For safety’s sake, make sure this convertible car seat doesn’t leave any gap between the seats that were previously utilized since if it does, someone could be injured or killed in an accident.
How Do You Change A Safety First Car Seat To Forward-Facing?
You’ll first need to ensure that your child’s weight and height satisfy the manufacturer’s specifications for forward-facing.
Then remove the cloth coverings that hide the push buttons and the harness straps (you may need a screwdriver or tool to release some of them).
To make it easier for you to put everything back together when it’s time to switch modes, lay out all of those pieces in order on a clean surface.
Then strap in.
Step One: Identify the Seat Belt Type on Your Car Seat
You may have a LATCH system or standard belt routing through the slots on the bottom of either side of the child’s chair, depending on the specific model of Safety First car seat you have purchased.
Your specific model should come with instructions on how to install it, if you’ve recently acquired one of these seats.
Step Two: Find the Best Location to Restrap Your Child’s Seat Belt on Each Side of Your Car Seat
As soon as you know how your seat is installed, you must determine where to restrap it so that nothing goes wrong while you are driving.
It’s not just about protecting yourself from injury, but also making sure other passengers don’t have issues with their seats around you.
Step Three: Remove the Seat Belt from its Current Slot and Re-Route it to a Better Location on Your Car Seat.
The installation process for your Safety First car seat belts may necessitate the removal of one or more of the slots in order to avoid safety issues, such as seats that move more than an inch once they are properly secured.
It’s also possible to open up your child’s belt holding region with a common set of household scissors and reroute these straps so they fit snuggly into their new spot without causing any discomfort while driving.
Step Four: Reinstall Your Child’s Seat Belt After You Have Restrapped the Belts onto Their Car Seats Correctly
In the end, you will have to replace your child’s belts in their proper places after rerouting them. All straps should be buckled up and locked into place before you begin your journey, whether it’s a routine trip around town or one that involves more movement, such as while driving on uneven roads.
The chair should be turned upright if everything is in order before returning to your child, allowing him or her to feel safe and secure in a new way.
