SlimFit 3 LX sports a unique fitting aesthetic that is unlike any other car seat in the Graco all-in-one car seat line. Alongside its slim design with two cup holders on both sides, the SlimFit 3 LX not only looks great but has the build quality to match. While it\u2019s narrow enough to fit 3-across seats and it sports enough space for kids to stay in the car seat, the SlimFit3 LX combines practicality and comfort into one.<\/p><p>The ultra-performance is to go through three car seat stages from your kid\u2019s birth until they are no more than 100 pounds in weight or 57 inches tall in height. It\u2019s a pity that the car seat does not allow detaching the back support to make it backless. Overall, though, the SlimFit3 LX is an impressive car seat, but you are paying for the Graco brand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

Loosen Harness Straps. Push down on the harness release lever while pulling out on the harness straps at the chest clip. Unbuckle the chest clip and the crotch buckle. Place harness straps off to the sides. On select models, place harness straps in buckle storage pockets.<\/p><p>2. Place Your Child in the Seat. Make sure their back is flat against the car seat back. Avoid bulky or heavy clothing. Doing so will prevent the harness straps from being tightened properly. Place a blanket over the child after you have secured the child.<\/p><p>3. Place Harness Straps Over Child\u2019s Shoulders and Buckle.\u00a0<\/p><p>You will hear a \u201cclick\u201d when buckle tongues are securely attached. Pull up on each buckle tongue to make sure it is securely attached.<\/p><p>4. Be Sure the Harness Straps Are at the Proper Height. Rear-Facing: Harness straps should be at or just below the child\u2019s shoulders. Top of head must be 1\u201d (2.5 cm) below the headrest adjustment lever.<\/p><p>\u00a0Forward-Facing: Harness straps should be at or just above the child\u2019s shoulders.

Check the Buckle Position. The correct slot is the one that is<\/p><p>closest to your child without being underneath them. The crotch strap must be in the front most slot when forward facing.<\/p><p>7. To Adjust Crotch Strap. Recline the car seat and locate the metal retainer under the car seat shell.<\/p><p>8. Rotate Metal Retainer and Insert It Up Through the Shelland Pad.\u00a0<\/p><p>From the top of the car seat, pull the crotch buckle out.<\/p><p>9. Insert Metal Retainer in the New Crotch Buckle Slot. Reach underneath the car seat and pull the metal retainer through. The crotch strap must be in the frontmost slot when forward facing.<\/p><p>10. Pull Up on Crotch Strap to Make Sure it is Secured<\/p><p>11. Buckle the Chest Clip. You will hear a \u201cclick\u201d when the chest clip is securely buckled.<\/p><p>12. Pull All the Slack Out From Around the Waist. Pull up on the harness strap while pushing the chest clip down. Do this to both sides.<\/p><p>13. Tighten the Harness by Pulling the Harness Adjustment Strap. When you are not able to pinch any of the harness webbing at your child\u2019s shoulder, the harness is tight enough.<\/p><p>A snug harness should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child\u2019s flesh or push the child\u2019s body into an unnatural position.<\/p><p>14.
