  "question": "Which infant car seat base installs with the least difficulty for one person working alone?",
  "answer": "UPPAbaby Mesa Infant Car Seat Base: The review says the MESA is one of the easiest lower anchor installs, with independently ratcheting lower anchor webbing, and you rock the base back and forth to tighten. The review calls the SMARTsecure lower anchor tensioning system unique and awesome, with a tension indicator on top of the base that turns green when tight.\nClek Liing Car Seat Base: Users report the base is easy to install with LATCH and easy to level, with relatively good stability. A blog review reports installation can be done in under five minutes and the bubble indicator helps confirm secure installation.\nBritax Aspen Infant Car Seat Base (with ClickTight): Users report that installation that used to be frustrating can now be done in under a minute with a rock-solid fit that does not budge. The ClickTight indicator gives a visual guide while installing the base. Getting the ClickTight indicator fully green took far more trial and error than expected, especially with the vehicle seat belt, and the reviewer found the lower anchors much easier for reaching green.\nBritax BOB Gear Wilder Infant Car Seat Base with ClickTight: Installation is in three steps: open, thread & buckle, click it closed.",
