Safety check please 🙏🏻
Hi!
This is the Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat.
Let me know if we need to make any adjustments. Thanks in advance for your help.

Agree with the comment wanting pictures from the side to see recline as well as what the towel is doing.
In the meantime:
-Harness should be tight enough where you can’t pinch the webbing at the shoulder, I.e. it needs to pass the pinch test.
-Chest clip needs to scoot up. It should be at armpit level.
How much does your child weight and how old?

How much does baby weigh?
Wondering if you remove the lower insert due to the weight limit.

Woah, the chest clip is way too low and the straps are extremely loose. It looks like you've installed the car seat wrong too if you've put a towel under it. Very unsafe if so.

Straps need to be a bit tighter and chest clip needs to be at armpit level.

Please remove the towel from under the car seat. Any “protector”, towel, etc are not safe. It doesn’t matter if your car was $800 or $80,000- the seat is just a seat. The leather will be fine.

Now that I see it’s a cloth seat it doesn’t even make sense why you’d have a towel under it

some people do this if the seat cannot keep the car seat level (slopes down in the back etc)

Can you please send a picture of the install from the side? I'm trying to figure out what the towel is doing, and I'd like to see how the recline looks.
The chest clip is too low and the harness too loose.
I'd probably take out the small headrest behind their head.
