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.

I wouldn't call them "easy", but they're not impossible, either. I switch fairly often and don't mind, but it's not a total breeze. If you're changing often, I'd recommend a seatbelt install.

Easy-peasy installation and removal1! I'm a woman in my late 40s and I had my 13 year son helping me (it was a little heavy for me). Just as easy to put it in as it was to take out... I ordered two of these and we had them in and on after about 15-20 minutes.

It was simple to install, but to stay in place. It is not easy enough to change out really often. The stiffness of the seatbelt and folding it to fit into the slots is what keeps me from saying it is easy. The snap on plastic ones that I tried constantly came undone and were worthless to me. I am the primary driver of my car and there is seldom a need to adjust it. I hope this helps you

Very good suggestion....One thing people tend to overlook is the stability of the bases/carseat systems...use YOUR body weight in the car seat to secure it tightly when installing but still make sure it is adjusted to the correct angle by manufacturer's recommendations (I learned this as part of being a car-seat installer when our police department participated in Safe-Kids carseat checks)...I have the Graco SnugRide32 for our little girl and having a base in my car and another in my husband's truck makes life very simple...

Not difficult at all. I have used it on my adult bike and also my sons, goes on as it should without any hassle and comes off easily too, no struggle.

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.,

Not hard at all. However, it is little heavy. It will fit in either the trunk or back seat of most vehicles and SUV's. Hope this helps.

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...

Yes, very easy. Normally, you install it and leave it. It can be adjusted "up or down" on the seatbelt, if needed, for different drivers or passengers. It comes with instructions.

it's not difficult, but if your mom has dexterity problems then any of the hearing amplifiers may not be easy if she's changing them herself. My husband hands me his when the battery dies, and i use my fingernail to flip the little tab on the end of the device and the battery door swings open. I want to add that this particular device is about the best one i've bought staying under $100 --- my husband is prone to losing his, so i end up buying about 1 every 2-3 months.

I an a 74 year old woman and I was able to install this product myself. Read the instructions. If you have any doubt, call a mechanic you TRUST!

It would not be easy to pull out because the car seat should be strapped down very tightly. If you unlatch the system to re-adjust it, then you cannot re-latch it properly while she is sitting in the seat. Once the seat is installed, the angle should not be adjusted while in use.

As a grandma with a touch of arthritis I do not find it easy. I believe it was made with young parents in mind and added safety so the child have difficulty undoing it

Yes, it's very easy to switch b/w cars. I have done that several times. There is a locking feature which I find on more and more suction cup devices and it makes the installation and removal very easy.

It wasn't difficult. If you have a set of socket wrenches and a screw driver, it will take you about 30 minutes max to complete. You must be carfule not to snap the plastic clamps that hold the trunk liner to the actual trunk though. The electrical connection is as easy as plugging in a wall lamp.
