How to Adjust Evenflo Car Carrier Straps

An Evenflo car carrier, also known as an infant carrier, is a baby car seat that can be removed from the car and used to tote a baby around without having to reinstall each time. Evenflo car carriers--used for infants weighing between 5 and 22 pounds--must be installed rear facing. To ensure baby's safety, it is important to know how to adjust Evenflo car carrier straps when buckling him into the seat.
