The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words. If that’s the case, then a video must be worth a million- especially when it comes to car seat installation.
Graco has created a branded channel on YouTube to showcase some of our products and provide helpful, instructional videos. (and to show you we know how to have a good time at company parties, too) Let’s be honest, even after reading your instruction manual from front to back and back to front, you can still be left confounded when sitting in your driveway on a sunny summer day with sweat dripping down your forehead and two LATCH connectors in your hand.
We say stop, go back inside, (or check your iPhone you cutting edge parent, you) and hop on your computer and check out our car seat installation videos on YouTube. I promise they’ll be helpful, you’ll stay cool and you’ll have at least one head-slapping lightbulb moment after you watch them!
Here’s just one we uploaded recently for the new My Ride 65 convertible car seat.
There are more where that came from!
Just to let you know, I was trying to look at the Graco Baby Quattro Tour Deluxe Classic Stroller on your website, it appears that all the stores online that have it only show the front view. Well your website must be down, it is showing server errors on your main page. I was able to get to the Graco Baby Quattro Tour Deluxe Classic Stroller page, although when I clicked on links from there I continued to get errors.
Just a suggestion. I LOVE LOVE LOVE sites that give a MANY views and 360 views, similar to how Zappos runs their sites. I believe this is a service that manufactures should offer to everyone who sells their products, trust me it makes a difference if I am looking at a product that only shows one view and one that shows multi views, I am MORE likely to buy the one I can see EVERY aspect of the product!!!
Just some suggestions, hope you get your site fixed!!!
the youtube website is down!
The baby in the convertible seat installation video harnessed improperly. The seat is being installed rear-facing, but the harness is above the baby’s shoulders. This video needs to be redone or many parents are going to be confused. Also, although it’s technically okay for the seat to move as much as one inch from side to side, you should be encouraging parents to have no movement at all. When I took a car seat safety class, we were shown how to put our weight into the center of the seat if forward facing or onto the back of the seat if rear-facing to make the belt as tight as possible so that the seat does not move side to side at all. I think more attention to details needs to be given when making your installation instruction videos.
