To secure the Graco 4EVER 4-IN-1 Car Seat in the car, you can use either the vehicle seat belt or the UAS (LATCH) system. Follow these steps:
1. Choose an appropriate seating position: Refer to your vehicle owner's manual. The back seat, especially the center, is usually the safest.
2. Using the Vehicle Seat Belt: - Route the seat belt through the correct belt path. - Buckle the seat belt. - Pull the shoulder belt all the way out to switch it to locking mode. - Tighten the seat belt by feeding the slack back into the retractor. - Ensure the seat does not move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) side-to-side or front-to-back. - If the car seat tilts due to upward tension, use a locking clip instead.
3. Using the UAS (LATCH) System: - Attach the lower anchors to the vehicle’s UAS anchor points. - Tighten according to the manual instructions.
Always check both the car seat manual and your vehicle owner’s manual for detailed instructions and compatibility.

How do you secure the car seat into the car?
To secure the Graco 4EVER 4-IN-1 Car Seat in the car, you can use either the vehicle seat belt or the UAS (LATCH) system. Follow these steps:
1. Choose an appropriate seating position: Refer to your vehicle owner's manual. The back seat, especially the center, is usually the safest.
2. Using the Vehicle Seat Belt:
- Route the seat belt through the correct belt path.
- Buckle the seat belt.
- Pull the shoulder belt all the way out to switch it to locking mode.
- Tighten the seat belt by feeding the slack back into the retractor.
- Ensure the seat does not move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) side-to-side or front-to-back.
- If the car seat tilts due to upward tension, use a locking clip instead.
3. Using the UAS (LATCH) System:
- Attach the lower anchors to the vehicle’s UAS anchor points.
- Tighten according to the manual instructions.
Always check both the car seat manual and your vehicle owner’s manual for detailed instructions and compatibility.
