Soo easy to get it installed quickly and properly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638645 Thu, 15 May 2014 23:37:03 +0000 gingerbebe 1638645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: we are very interested in the uppababy Mesa infant seat bc it apparently installs in seconds and is highly rated for safety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638590 Thu, 15 May 2014 22:03:49 +0000 wonderstruck 1638590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: Maybe my DH's car is just stupid, I've never put it in another one. You're probably doing it right, I'm just seriously awful at car seat installs, my DH doesn't understand how I make it so complicated. Which I ended up with a carseat that costs three hundred freaking dollars...I needed an idiot-proof one. I would be screwed if I lived in a city where I had to put it in taxis and what not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638562 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:42:41 +0000 Beehive 1638562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: Oh no!! I have heard that people have trouble with the angle on the Cosco Scenera but haven't heard that about the Coccoro. It's definitely not as super-quick to install as the Cybex infant seat, but I find that if you shimmy the seatbelt like in the YouTube video demonstration (I think The Car Seat Lady's demonstration?) it tightens pretty quickly... hope I'm not doing it wrong!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638551 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:37:57 +0000 wonderstruck 1638551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: Dude, I am totally bowing down to you for being able to quickly install the Coccoro. DH has one in his car and holy crap...I cannot even tell you how long I spend trying to tighten that damn thing, maybe I'm a wimp but I just couldn't do it! And then we had to undo the whole thing because the angle wasn't right and it needed a pool noodle to get it in properly. I've told him we're never removing it because there is zero chance of me putting it back in properly, LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638534 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:32:19 +0000 travelgirl1 1638534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: Thank you so much, these sound great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638529 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:31:21 +0000 Beehive 1638529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we don't have a car so we only use them in taxis - easy to install is our main criteria! </p> <p>Infant seat: Cybex Aton (amazing, takes like 2 minutes to install with the seatbelt)</p> <p>Convertible: Combi Coccoro (easy belt install) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638523 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:29:22 +0000 travelgirl1 1638523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: @wonderstruck: Thank you! I'll look those up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638521 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:28:11 +0000 wonderstruck 1638521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Nextfit that I can get latched in and properly tightened in under a minute, it's so easy! However, it's not the lightest thing out there, unfortunately the two seem to be a difficult combo to find. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638516 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:25:04 +0000 Bao 1638516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: We have a Graco and Evenflo for convertibles and they are easy because the car seat itself isn't huge and bulky/heavy...I think that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seats-that-are-easy-to-put-in-the-car-quickly#post-1638477 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:09:05 +0000 travelgirl1 1638477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a car but we will need a car seat for LO2 when it's born and also one for DD (she's 18 months old right now). They're really just for taxi and hire car journeys so we're looking for seats that are easy and quick to get in and out of a car. Do these seats even exist, or all they all nightmares to install? </p>
