Video Installation Tips & Tricks: How to PUSH & PULL most effectively to get a Rear-Facing Convertible Car Seat installed tightly using LATCH

This video highlights 2 important installation tips:
  1. On a rear-facing convertible seat, use your stomach to 1. push the car seat into the back of the vehicle seat and 2. sway the car seat side to side - WHILE you pull the belt tight
  2. Always pull the tail of the belt from "inside" the car seat - not from "outside" - see this earlier post for more on inside vs. outside
While the seat shown in this video is a Graco My Ride 65, the techniques apply to most rear-facing convertible seats (see the above blog post for a list of seats that are the exceptions to the "inside" rule)
