Installation
The Graco Tranzitions car seat can be installed using your vehicle's LATCH system or the vehicle's seat belt. Always refer to your car seat manual and your vehicle's owner's manual for specific installation instructions and compatibility.
LATCH System Installation
Locate the LATCH anchors in your vehicle. Attach the car seat's LATCH connectors to the vehicle's lower anchors. Ensure a tight fit by pressing down firmly on the car seat while pulling the LATCH strap to remove any slack. The car seat should not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.
Vehicle Seat Belt Installation
Route the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt through the designated belt path on the car seat. Buckle the seat belt and remove all slack by pressing down firmly on the car seat while pulling the shoulder belt. Ensure the car seat is securely installed and does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.

Operating Instructions
Securing Your Child (Harness Mode)
- Place your child in the car seat with their back flat against the seat back.
- Bring the harness straps over your child's shoulders and between their legs.
- Connect the buckle tongues into the buckle.
- Fasten the chest clip at armpit level.
- Tighten the harness straps until snug, ensuring you cannot pinch any slack at the child's shoulder.
Adjusting Headrest and Harness
To adjust the headrest and harness height simultaneously, squeeze the red adjustment handle at the top of the headrest and slide it up or down to the desired position. Ensure the harness straps are at or slightly above your child's shoulders for forward-facing use.
Care and Maintenance
- Seat Pad, Body Insert, and Harness Covers: These fabric components are machine washable. Refer to the care tag on the fabric for specific washing instructions (typically cold water, delicate cycle, and air dry).
- Buckle and LATCH Connectors: Clean with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners or lubricants.
- Plastic and Metal Parts: Wipe clean with mild soap and cool water.
- Cup Holders: The dual cup holders are removable for easy cleaning.
Troubleshooting
- Car Seat Feels Loose After Installation: Re-read the installation instructions in both the car seat manual and your vehicle's owner's manual. Ensure all slack is removed from the LATCH strap or vehicle seat belt. The car seat should not move more than one inch at the belt path.
- Harness Straps Are Difficult to Adjust: Check for any twists in the harness webbing. Ensure the harness adjuster strap is pulled straight out from the car seat.
- Child Appears Uncomfortable: Verify that the headrest and harness are adjusted to the correct height for your child. Ensure no clothing or accessories are interfering with the harness fit.
