Eddie Bauer car seats are some of the most popular on the market and for good reason. They’re comfortable stylish and safe. But one thing that can be a bit tricky with them is adjusting the straps.
There are two main straps on an Eddie Bauer car seat: the shoulder strap and the lap strap. The shoulder strap goes over your child’s shoulder and attaches to the seat at the shoulder level. The lap strap goes across your child’s lap and attaches to the seat at the waist level.
To adjust the shoulder strap first loosen the strap by pulling on the red tab at the base of the strap. Then slide the strap up or down to the desired position. To tighten the strap again just push the red tab back into place.
The lap strap is adjusted in a similar way. First loosen the strap by pulling on the red tab at the base of the strap. Then slide the strap up or down to the desired position. To tighten the strap again just push the red tab back into place.
One thing to keep in mind when adjusting the straps is that they should be tight enough that your child can’t wiggle out of them but not so tight that they’re uncomfortable. You should be able to fit two fingers between the strap and your child’s body.
If you’re having trouble adjusting the straps there are a few things you can try. First make sure that the seat is in the correct position. The shoulder strap should be at or just below your child’s shoulder and the lap strap should be across your child’s lap not their stomach.
If the seat is in the correct position and you’re still having trouble try adjusting the straps while your child is in the seat. This can sometimes be easier than trying to do it while the seat is empty.
Finally if you’re still having trouble you can contact Eddie Bauer customer service for help. They should be able to walk you through the process and help you get the straps adjusted correctly.
