I don't have sound, so I don't feel qualified to offer a full opinion on the video, but it doesn't appear to be good. :(

Aside from the obvious of the loose install, a major concern concern is that appears to be an old Fisher-Price convertible, and given the peeling stickers, I'm sure it's expired. (I'm presuming the audio indicates that she intends to use this install for a child?)

At least the straps are in the top slots for FF. Otherwise, expired seat, horribly loose install.

It's in a different language so I couldn't understand the audio.

The audio isn't in english, and I don't recognize the language. The vehicle is obviously foreign, therefore the seat belt likely doesn't lock.

I'm not sure what anyone here could do about this, if the people posting it don't even speak english?

I think it's German or Swiss-German. He says "wunderbar" at the end. I also think I might have heard him say a date that sounded like 1997. Completely guessing there, though! Hopefully it's an old video. How to install a car seat when traveling to New Zealand?

It´s German. But all there is, is to watch th seat and how (horribly) they install it. "Wunderbar" means "Wonderfull" (COUGH!! It´s anything but...). The video is from 2010:(

Basically the video was made to show other parents how easy the seat is to install. They don´t have any luck at all The seat is obviously an ollll piece of...... The install is horribly wrong - even for a foreign seat it would be (it´s a Canadian type seat)

It's one of those Evenflo Trooper or Scouts. The non overhead shield version :) I had one in 1999 or so

That video is shot in New Zealand (the vehicle in the background has a NZ licence plate on it). The banner at the bottom of the video, http://www.travelcars.co.nz/ may be using this video to show overseas visitors how to install seats in their cars - I will email them now & ask if they recorded it & check that this particular restraint isn't one that the have to hire out to overseas visitors.

It's coming up to our peak holiday season here so will be good to correct them on a few things if that is what they doing :(

Thank you for posting this!
