Quick answer
To install the G5+ Infant Car Seat Newborn Insert, position it in the seat, secure the straps, and adjust the harness to fit your newborn snugly. Check the fit every ride.
Why proper installation matters
A correct fit is critical for protecting your newborn in a car seat. The G5+ Newborn Insert is engineered for infants weighing 4–11 lbs, and using it improperly can reduce its effectiveness. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and your car seat manual.
Remember that the insert is designed for the G5+ Infant Car Seat specifically. Using it with another seat can be unsafe, and the fit may not be secure.
Installation steps
- Read the manuals: Before starting, read both the car seat manual and the insert instructions. They contain specific guidance and warnings for your model. Keep the manuals accessible for future reference.
- Position the insert: Place the newborn insert into the car seat shell, aligning it with the seat's contours. Ensure it lies flat and covers the seating area completely. Check that the insert is not bunched or folded.
- Secure the insert straps: Thread the insert's straps through the designated slots in the car seat, following the manual. Tighten them so the insert doesn't shift. Pull on the insert to verify it stays in place.
- Adjust the harness: Place your newborn in the seat and adjust the harness straps to the correct height and snugness. The straps should be at or below the shoulders, and you should not be able to pinch any slack. Recheck harness tightness every time you buckle your baby.
- Perform a fit test: After securing your baby, check that the insert provides proper support and that your baby's head is not pushed forward. If the insert is too small or too large, stop using it. If your baby weighs more than 11 lbs, remove the insert.
