How difficult is this for a grandmother to install and to take it in and out and in and out of a car?

I am older myself and bought this to use when keeping my great niece -- I did not find it difficult to install or to take the car seat off or place back on the base.

It may be a little difficult for her. It takes a good bit of effort for me to get it in tight. I'm a 36 year old mother of two.

Hi SharonThe unit has a great sound firstly with the old speakers. The unit is reasonably easy to fit but I recommend you get the shop to do it if you haven't done one before. Although if ya get stuck you can always take to the shop in pieces.If you try yourself you must disconnect the battery and make sure its insulated from the car. This will defend the devices when they are being installed in case any wires touch. Good LuckBruce

Hi Kate, it only took me a few minutes and it was don so I suppose doing it often shouldn't be too much trouble. However, take care of the plastic parts that cover the "roots" (where they go into the car) because they are fragile when installing, in fact one of mine came broken but they replaced it immediately. Other than that, they stayed on for the last 2 years without a problem.

Not hard at all. Just slide on the hand grips and pop on the back rest. No tools needed. It took about 2 minutes. It took longer to take it out of the box.

I bought one for my mom but she has a guardian walker - difficult to install.

It is not difficult - a tiny twist and pull. Same in reverse to install the brush or scrubber. I'm old and its easy to me!

At the lowest setting this would be perfect for your Mom. However, the unit itself is heavy. You will need to ether keep in in one place or have someone able to easily lift 30+ plus pounds to move it from one location to another. It is also a bit bulky. It is tricky to lift by the pedals because they rotate.

My almost 3 y.o. has been in it for about three months. I loved it so much I bought it again for my nanny's car. My nanny is older and had trouble securing and unfastening the graco 3-in 1 she had.The pinnacle is easy to put in and take out of the car and fasten and unsnap the child. She hadn't had any trouble. My 3 y.o. very proudly climbs in it himself. Hope this helps. We have not regretted the purchase at all!!

I purchased this product for my grandma and so far so good. However, she only uses it outside when running errands here and there. You do have a great question though, but at this time it's hard for me to answer at this time since she does not use it outside on a daily basis. Again, she really likes it and has not had any issues.

It is extremely easy to move from car to car. It is a little on the heavy side however that is more peace of mind for me knowing that it is a durable car seat. All you have to do is push the buttons in on each side and twist and it unlocks. When you set it in the new base just do the opposite, or you can just push down on the red tabs that come up in the seat when it is unlached and it will relatch. It keeps the same locking position that it was in the other base so you don't have to readjust it.

It's not.. when you take it off the vent of your car.. it's super simple and easy to move it 360.. but then when its on the car, it's real difficult... You try to move it and it slides off the vent and then your messing around and driving and it's falling all over... That being said.. when you set it up the way you want it and plug it into your vent.. it works great.. great position.. easy to stay on.. I highly recommend it.. it has it's faults sure.. but it's better than most 80% of the other products on the market... I bought 2.. My wife refused to use and bought a different one with an arm on it..that broke a few months later and now she's using her "back up.." the Kenu It's not.. when you take it off the vent of your car.. it's super simple and easy to move it 360.. but then when its on the car, it's real difficult...

Not difficult at all. The friction fit is enough to keep it on, but not so tight that is difficult to get off. I've been very happy with it.

Yes it easy. My FJ doesn't have the child seat hooks my wife's van has. Just read the directions and it should be no problem for you. :-)

Not really a light weight unit at all. Seems to be heavier than others I have used or looked at. I would advise a senior person to look for a lighter unit, since this one can require a good bit of effort to put into or get it out of, an automobile.,

Mine is very easy, both 95-year-old mother and grandchildren, just old enough to stand can open it. I wonder if one of your walls isn't square, pushing the gate into an incorrect position.

my husband is 72 years old and installed this. He guesstimates the weight to be around 45 pounds. He takes it out and in the winter and puts it back in the spring. He said it is not hard to install. We live in a mobile home and even in these windows it is not a problem. I know this is not a totally accurate answer, but it is the easy to understand one.
