Canadian Family Instal Video

Ok is it just me, or are there some things done wrong with this install.
For me I can see that the Infant head rest is still on, and they recommend pulling it up, instead of removing it. It doesn't look like the harnesses are above the baby's shoulders, also the UAS/LATCH clips being cliped UP onto the anchor bars instead of down. Also tightening the Top tether before the install.

Other than that it looks to be a decent video....

Connecting or tightening the top tether first isn't actually wrong. On some vehicles, you have to do it that way because the tether is inaccessible once the carseat is in place. It's not the way I would do it unless the vehicle required it, but it is what it is.

You mentioned the LATCH being upside down. She emphasized clipping the non-buckle side first, then the buckle side, but that doesn't really matter. You got the harness height, though I couldn't really tell with the darn infant headrest on. That definitely needed to go for that child. She said to tighten the harness until only one finger fit under the harness (under the chest clip, from the way she demoed it) and that is now outdated and replaced by the pinch test, which should be performed at the shoulder. The crotch buckle looked like it was really far under baby's bum, and I strongly suspect it should have been moved to a different slot.

Not wrong, but areas where the video could be improved - there was no metion of how high the harness straps need to be, nor chest clip positioning (though they did show it correctly). Oh, and that baby could be rear facing.

True, I forgot about that point!
