the safety of your child. Quick turns, sudden stops, or other  
maneuvers in avoiding a crash, as well as a crash, can injure  
your child if not properly secured in the seat or if the seat is not  
properly installed in the vehicle.  
SAFETY INFORMATION  
3.1 About your child  
This Safety Seat is designed and tested to accommodate  
a child of a specific range of HEIGHT and WEIGHT. Using  
the Safety Seat for a child whose weight or height is  
outside of these limits will increase the risk of death or  
serious injury in the event of a crash. Please see the  
Warning label on the Safety Seat located on the child’s  
right side for weight and height limits for your model. Also  
noted on manual cover.  
• There are many different types of vehicles, seat belt systems,  
or other occupant restraint systems in use today. Accordingly,  
this manual can only give guidelines for proper installation in  
your vehicle. In addition to this manual, you must also read  
and understand the vehicle owner’s manual, which should  
address use of child restraints. If your vehicle owner’s manual  
does not address the installation of child restraints, please  
contact your local vehicle dealer, or the vehicle’s manufacturer,  
to obtain this information before using this Safety Seat.  
• Special needs children, such as pre-term babies, may suffer  
difficulties in using this Safety Seat. The angle of recline in this  
Safety Seat may not be appropriate for Special Needs babies.  
If your child has special needs or any breathing difficulties,  
please discuss vehicle Safety Seats with your pediatrician, or  
other competent health care provider, to ensure the safety of  
your child.  
• Some vehicles do not have any safe location for this Safety  
Seat to be installed. In addition, many vehicles do not have  
seat belt systems that will adequately hold this Safety  
Seat in the required position. Please refer to both this manual  
and your vehicle owner’s manual for complete information for  
proper safe installation of this Safety Seat.  
• Never leave your child unattended, even for a moment.  
Never combine this Safety Seat or Base with any other Safety  
Seat or Base from any other manufacturer. If you are in need  
of an additional Base, please contact your local dealer or Baby  
Trend, Inc. to obtain one.  
• Do Not Dress your child in bulky clothing or other garments that  
will hinder the harness from being snug around your child and  
properly latched between your child’s legs.  
• This Safety Seat is certified for use in Motor Vehicles and

3.3 About Active Air Bags  
3.5 About this Safety Seat  
NEVER PLACE THIS SAFETY SEAT IN A VEHICLE SEATING  
LOCATION THAT HAS AN ACTIVE AIR BAG. If an Active  
Air bag inflates, it can hit the safety seat with great force and  
cause death or serious injury to your child. Refer to your vehicle  
owner’s manual for additional information and warnings about  
Active Air bags, and supplemental restraints, and their proper use  
with Safety Seats.  
• This Safety Seat is constructed of plastic that can deform over  
time if left with any object in the seat while stored. DO NOT  
leave heavy objects in the seat while not in use. DO NOT  
store the seat in the trunk of your car with heavy objects on it  
or with pressure on the seat from the trunk lid.  
Replace the Safety Seat and Base after an accident of  
any kind. An accident, even a minor accident, can cause  
undetectable damage to the Safety Seat or Base that may  
cause the Seat or Base to fail in a subsequent accident. DO  
NOT use the safety seat if it is damaged or broken.  
3.4 About an unoccupied Safety Seat  
Never leave the Safety Seat or Base unsecured in your  
vehicle. An unsecured seat or base can fly through the vehicle  
in the event of a crash, sudden stop or sharp turn and cause  
serious injury to the driver, who may then loose control of the  
vehicle, or to passengers. When not in use, either remove the  
seat and or base from the vehicle or make sure that both are  
securely belted to the vehicle according to these instructions.  
• Discontinue use of the Safety Seat and Base after six (6) years  
from the date of manufacture. The date of manufacture can  
be found on the label located on the underside of the Safety  
Seat or Base. When discarding an out of date seat, please  
ensure that someone finding the seat will be unable to use it.  
We suggest that you disable the seat by removing the pad and  
harness and discarding the pieces at different times.  
• The Safety Seat may become very hot if left in direct sunlight.  
Your child may suffer burns from hot plastic components.  
Always check the seat for hot surfaces that may come into  
contact with your child before placing your child in the seat.  
We suggest that you cover the seat with a blanket or towel if  
it will be subject to direct sunlight while you are away from the  
vehicle.  
3.6 About use as a carrier  
Never Leave Your Child Unattended, even if they are asleep.  
Very often when you arrive at your destination you will find  
that your child has fallen asleep in the Seat. Do not leave the  
child unattended, even for a minute. Your child can tip or move  
the carrier by their movements, kicking or grabbing on to their  
surroundings. If the carrier tips over, your child can suffocate

from the surface that the seat is on as well as from the pressure  
on their chest from the safety harness. In addition, if the carrier  
is placed too upright, the child’s head can fall forward and cause  
the child to have difficulty breathing. To avoid death or serious  
injury from suffocation, falls and other hazards:  
• Strings and cords can cause strangulation:  
- DO NOT place items with string around a child’s neck, such  
as hood strings, pacifier cords, etc.  
- DO NOT suspend strings on or over carrier.  
- DO NOT attach strings to toys.  
- DO NOT place the carrier near a window where cords from  
blinds or drapes can strangle a child.  
• Always place the carrier on a firm and level surface. Never  
place the carrier on soft or plush surfaces such as a bed,  
comforter, couch, sofa, chair, etc. The carrier has a very  
high possibility of tipping over if placed on a soft or plush  
surface.  
• Fall hazard: Child’s movements can slide carrier. Never place  
the carrier near the edge of high surfaces such as tables,  
counter tops, shelves, or other elevated surfaces. To prevent  
falls, stay within arm’s reach whenever the carrier is not on the  
floor or ground.  
WARNING  
Never leave child unattended.  
SUFFOCATION HAZARD: Infant carrier can roll over on  
soft surfaces and suffocate child, NEVER place carrier on  
beds, sofas, or other soft surfaces.  
• Child can strangle in loose safety harness straps. Never leave  
child in carrier when straps are loose or undone. Always use  
the safety harness as instructed in this manual when the child  
is in the carrier.  
STRANGULATION HAZARD: Child can strangle in loose  
restraint straps. Never leave child in carrier when straps are  
loose or undone.  
• Before lifting the carrier with the handle, check that the handle  
is firmly locked into position. The carrier will pivot about an  
unlocked handle and can result in injury to your child.  
FALL HAZARD: Child’s movement can slide carrier. Never  
place carrier near edges of counter tops, tables, or other  
elevated surfaces.  
• When using the carrier with a shopping cart, check that the  
seat is firmly locked onto the shopping cart. If the carrier will  
not firmly lock on always place the carrier into the interior of the  
shopping cart.

• If the driver is the only adult in the vehicle and the child  
requires constant monitoring, then the forward seating position  
may be used if there is no passenger side Active Air bag and  
all of the following requirements are met for this location.  
SELECTING THE BEST LOCATION FOR  
THE SAFETY SEAT  
WARNING  
4.2 Check that the Vehicle Seat Meets the Following  
Requirements  
Not every location within an automobile may be safe for the  
installation of this Safety Seat. In fact, some automobiles have  
no seating position that is safe for the installation of a safety  
seat. Improper placement of this Safety Seat within a vehicle  
will increase the risk of death or serious injury.  
WARNING  
DO NOT place rear-facing child  
seat on front seat with air bag.  
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY can  
occur. The back seat is the safest  
place for children 12 and under.  
Please follow the instructions in this manual and in your  
vehicle owner’s manual carefully to ensure proper location and  
installation of this Safety Seat. If you are uncertain about the  
proper location of the Safety Seat within the vehicle, contact  
your vehicle manufacturer directly, or through their dealer  
before using this seat. You are also invited to call Baby Trend  
at1-800-328-7363 for additional information or assistance.  
Never place this Safety Seat in a vehicle seating location  
that has an Active Air Bag! Active Air Bags inflate with great  
force! An inflating active Air Bag can strike a Safety Seat  
with enough force to cause death or serious injury to your  
child. If your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger side  
Active Air bag, please refer to the vehicle’s owner’s manual for  
additional information about Active Air bags and child safety  
seat installation.  
4.1 Overall Considerations in Selecting a Location  
• The rear seating positions have been shown to be statistically  
safer for children than the front seating position.  
• We recommend that you use the center rear seat position as  
the safest location for the Safety Seat. In addition, whenever  
possible, have an adult ride in the rear with the child in order to  
monitor the child.

for use with the Safety Seat. Even newer vehicles can have  
seat belts systems that are not safe for use with the Safety  
Seat. These systems may look safe but their method of  
operation precludes their use with the Safety Seat. If you are  
unsure if the vehicle seat belt is safe for use with the Safety  
Seat, please contact the vehicle manufacturer for additional  
information.  
DO NOT use this Safety Seat in a vehicle  
that has a vehicle seat back that does  
not lock into place. A seat back that folds  
forward must have a latch or locking  
mechanism to prevent it from flying  
forward and striking the child in a sudden  
stop or accident.  
Fig. 14-1  
WARNING  
• Please review your vehicle owner’s manual  
to determine the best location for the Safety  
Seat or to determine if any locations are  
unsafe for safety seat installation. If you  
do not have the vehicle owner’s manual  
or the owner’s manual does not address  
child safety seat installation, please contact  
the vehicle manufacturer to obtain this  
information before using the safety seat.  
Carefully analyze the operation of the vehicle safety belts  
before using the Safety Seat. Being able to thread the vehicle  
seat belt through the Safety Seat or Base is not an indication  
that the vehicle seat belt is safe to use. Carefully read this  
section on seat belt systems, review your vehicle owner’s  
manual in detail, and heed any and all warning labels on your  
vehicle’s seat belt. Your vehicle may require a modification  
or special seat belt in order to be safely used with this Safety  
Seat. Please see your vehicle dealer for this service.  
Fig. 14-2  
Seat belt systems that are NOT safe for use with the Safety Seat:  
DO NOT use the following types of seat belt systems with  
the Safety Seat. These belt systems will not hold the Safety  
Seat securely in place at all times. In addition, the locking clip  
provided with this product will not make these belt systems safe  
to use.  
4.3 Check that the Vehicle Seat Belt is Safe to Use  
The Safety Seat is designed to be tightly installed at all  
times. The vehicle seat belt must be capable of maintaining  
tight installation at all times. A variety of vehicle seat belt  
systems have been installed on vehicles that are not safe

DO NOT use a lap belt that stays loose after  
installed and locks only in a crash or sudden  
stop. These lap belts utilize an Emergency  
Locking Retractor and are often found in  
combination with motorized shoulder belts.  
Because these belts will allow the Safety  
Seat to move about on the seat, the chance  
of the Safety Seat being out of the proper  
position in a crash is very high. Accordingly,  
do not use the Safety Seat with this type of  
Seat Belt system. Please see your vehicle’s  
dealer or owner’s manual for information on  
converting this seat belt system to one that  
is acceptable for use with a Safety Seat  
(Fig. 16-1).  
DO NOT use a seat belt that is anchored on  
the seat more than 2 inches forward of the  
crease between the seat bottom and the  
seat back. This type of seat belt anchors  
the Safety Seat too far forward and the  
Safety Seat will not be safely restrained in  
the vehicle (Fig. 17-1).  
DO NOT use a shoulder belt that moves  
along a track. These systems typically  
move to surround the occupant when the  
door is closed. This type of belt system will  
NOT adequately restrain the Safety Seat.  
(Fig. 17-2).

DO NOT use a lap/shoulder belt system if  
the lap belt and shoulder belt each have  
retractors at one end. This type of seat  
belt system will not adequately restrain the  
Safety Seat (Fig. 16-2).  
If you have any of the above seat belt  
systems, DO NOT use it to secure the Safety  
Seat in the vehicle. Look in the vehicle for  
a location that has a more suitable seat belt  
system as described in the section following.  
You may also contact your vehicle’s  
manufacturer to inquire about installing a  
seat belt system that is adequate to restrain  
a Safety Seat.

DO NOT use a seat belt that is connected  
to the door in any way. These types of seat  
belts are designed to automatically

not require a locking clip (Fig. 19-1).  
The following seat belt systems can be used with the Safety Seat  
provided, that all of the other requirements prescribed in these  
instructions, including seat position, and all instructions provided  
by your vehicle’s owner’s manual are followed.  
• A lap/shoulder combination belt system  
with a latch plate that can slide freely along  
the belt is suitable for use with the Safety  
Seat if it includes a lockable retractor or if  
a locking clip is used to secure the lap belt  
into position and prevent loosening. Use  
the locking clip provided with the Safety  
Seat as instructed on page 42. Please  
refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual  
for additional information on locking this  
style of seat belt. This style of belt must be  
locked to prevent movement of the Safety  
Seat (Fig. 19-2 & 19-3).  
Fig. 19-1  
• A lap belt that is manually adjusted and will  
remain tight while the vehicle is in motion is  
suitable for use with the Safety Seat. Pulling  
the belt through the buckle after the buckle is  
fastened tightens this type of seat belt. The  
center rear seat belt is most often this type of  
seat belt (Fig. 18-1).

an automatic locking retractor that will  
allow the belt to be lengthened but once  
fastened, must be unbuckled and allowed  
to retract fully before allowing the belt to be  
lengthened again (Fig. 18-2).

SECURING THE SAFETY SEAT OR BASE  
IN THE VEHICLE  
Please read carefully section 4.3, Check that the Vehicle Seat  
Belt is Safe to Use, before proceeding with the installation of  
the Safety Seat. Please understand that due to the extremely  
large number of vehicles in use today, and the correspondingly  
large number of safety belt systems, this section can only provide  
guidance, as to the proper installation of the Safety Seat, that  
must be combined with the information provided by your vehicle  
manufacturer in order to obtain a proper and safe installation.  
Make sure that you hear the tongues click  
into the buckle and check that both are firmly  
latched by pulling upward on the straps. If  
the harness straps are not securely buckled,  
the safety seat will NOT provide protection  
for your child. DO NOT use the safety seat,  
even as a carrier, if the harness does not  
securely buckle. Please call Baby Trend at  
1-800-328-7363 for assistance.  
Fig. 36-2  
• From the front of the Safety Seat, pull outward on the Harness  
Adjuster Strap to tighten the Harness Straps. Make sure that both  
Harness Straps are flat and snug on your child’s shoulders. A snug  
strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line  
without sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or push the  
child’s body into an unnatural position.  
WARNING  
Failure to properly install and secure the Safety Seat in a rear  
facing position within the vehicle increases the child’s risk of  
death or serious injury in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop  
or crash. Carefully follow these instructions, and the instructions  
provided by your vehicle manufacturer for the installation of child  
safety seats, to ensure that the Safety Seat is properly located,  
positioned and held tightly installed at all times.  
• Fasten the Harness Chest Clips together. Position the Harness  
Chest Clip, by sliding the Clip either up or down on the  
Harness Straps, so that it is level with the child’s armpits.
