I've had the Nextfit for a year and a half. And I hate installing it ever.single.time. It takes me forever to get a tight install and I can't figure out why. I am trying to install it in our new car and I have tried 3 times. It moves all over the seat every time no matter how tight it is. Any tricks? Tips? Suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? I'm about ready to throw it out into the yard right now I'm so frustrated with the thing.

Which car? Position? LATCH? Seatbelt? RF? FF?
Honestly I was unimpressed the few times I've tried it RF with LATCH, I don't really see that magical extra LATCH technology working as well as I expect it to (like on the Key Fit, which I can do with a broken pinky, lol)
Maybe this will help...http://www.chiccousa.com/nextfit/installation.aspxJulie

This is the one seat I never have trouble with. I bought it for my Mom in her car because it's so easy. Anyway, that's an obnoxious and unhelpful reply, lol! What I do is loosen the latch straps completely, latch both sides, and put the seat where I want it. Then I push into the corner of seat near the strap that says "pull first" and I pull it up and towards the seat. The second latch strap, I pull down towards the vehicle seat while pushing on the car seat near that corner.
Hope that made sense. Works for me!DD1 9 yrs old 12/2011
