The rubber piece is designed to lock the tung on the back of the seat to the rack. To get it in place you need to bend the tung down until you can insert the rubber piece over the tung and under the two fins so that when you release the tung the rubber is locked into place. You will likely need to bend the tung down quite a bit. The rubber piece has two circular ridges that should be between the two fins that it is pressed into. These ridges will prevent the rubber piece from sliding out.
So basically, bend the tung down and press the rubber piece into the slot that is created. It will start to become clear once you get this far. Just make sure those ridges on the rubber are on the inside of the fins.

Here are some tips for added protections on your car seats

  • Many times this type of car seat comes with a base that a carrier latches into. This actually makes installation easier because you are dealing with a rather small piece of plastic. The base and carrier should only go in the back seat, preferably in the middle, although this is not a hard-and-fast rule.

  • You might need to place a shortened swimming noodle (one of the only materials CPS has certified) to level out the base, which should lie at a 45-degree angle with the carrier installed. Some manufacturers make bases that are adjustable.

  • Make sure the carrier straps are tight and the harness clip is even with the baby's shoulders or armpits. Also make sure the straps are in the slot that lines up just above or closest to the infant's shoulders.

  • If the child is still a bit wobbly in the seat due to her size, place rolled receiving blankets or towels along each side. This provides additional support and cushion. However, do not place anything under the harness straps.

  • When the carrier is snapped into the base, the handle should be out of the way. Place it in the down position.

  • Some older vehicles (especially those manufactured prior to 1997) may require the use of a locking clip. This is a small piece of metal that looks like the letter "I" on its side. Certain vehicles do not have seat belts that lock when the brakes are slammed. The clip locks the seat belt and prevents extra slippage in the event of an accident.

To whom it may concern, I'm struggling to install

The Tethers are on the rear deck at the top

You have to pull the seat belts out a way as
you said & then when you get them through
or around the seat, however they go,you snap
back & forth till they lock. The same thing
you do while in the drivers seat with your seat belt.

When done the child seat is kind of sloppy
in my opinion. Not really secured down tight

I would suggest you get help from an experienced
person that has kids & those seats to install

Can you add a child seat to the diamondback clarity bike?

That would depend on the specific child's seat and what it requires for attachment points. I imagine the smaller bike frames might limit the ability to maintain clearances between the child and moving bike or rider parts.

There are a number of different schemes. Try these...

Don't forget safety...

I own a schwinn trailway. I just purchased the classic child carrier but it doesn't seem to work. Do I need an additional piece to attach to seat.

Take it to where you bought it, if it was a bike shop they can show you how to do it. You want to make sure it is done right because that is a live person you are putting in it and why risk their life. Just like a car seat-make sure it is installed the correct way and the child wears a helmet, along with yourself. Remember, if you fall and hit your head who is going to take care of your baby? Do not put a child over 40 lbs in a baby seat.
