4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location

WARNING!

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:

• IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE CAR SEAT INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING!

• Not every location within an vehicle may be safe for the installation of this car seat. Car seat must be tightly secured and remain tightly secured at all time. Some vehicles have no seating position installation of a car seat. Improper placement or use of a car seat that is not tightly secured in a vehicle will increase the risk of death or serious injury.
• Please follow the instructions in this manual and in your vehicle owner's manual carefully to ensure proper location and installation of the car seat. If you are uncertain about the proper location of the car seat within the vehicle, contact your vehicle manufacturer directly or through their dealer before using the car seat. You are also invited to call Baby Trend at 1-800-328-7363 for additional information or assistance.

4.1 Overall Considerations in Selecting a Location

- According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear vehicle seating positions, rather than front seating positions.

lecting a Vehicle Seating Location

Whenever possible, this car seat should be secured in the rear center, seating position. The rear seat directly behind the front seats NOT in a third row rear seat (Fig. 10a).

Fig. 10a

• ONLY place in a forward-facing vehicle seat. DO NOT place this car seat in any vehicle seat that faces to the rear (Fig. 10b).
• DO NOT place this car seat in any vehicle seat that faces to either side of the vehicle (Fig. 10c).
  • We recommend that you use the center rear seat position as the safest location for the car seat. In addition, whenever possible, have an adult ride in the rear with the child in order to monitor the child.

NOTE: LATCH system may not be available in the center rear seat position. Install with a vehicle seat belt if LATCH is not available.

Fig. 10b

- If the driver is the only adult in the vehicle and the child requires constant monitoring, then a vehicle front seating position may be used if there is no passenger side Active Frontal Air bag and all of the following requirements are met for this location.

Fig. 10c

4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location

4.2 Check that the Vehicle Seat Meets the Following Requirements

WARNING!

DO NOT place rear-facing child seat on front seat with active frontal air bag. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY can occur. The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and under.

- NEVER place this car seat in a vehicle seating location that has an Active Frontal Air Bag! Active Air Bags inflate with great force! An inflating Air Bag can strike a car 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 car seat installation.

Forward-FacingRear-Facing

- DO NOT use this car seat in a vehicle that has a vehicle seatback that does not lock into place. A seatback 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.

lecting a Vehicle Seating Location

- Please review your vehicle owner's manual to determine the best location for the car seat or to determine if any locations are unsafe for car seat installation. If you do not have the vehicle owner's manual or the owner's manual does not address child car seat installation, please contact the vehicle manufacturer to obtain this information before using this car seat.

VEHICLE SEAT BELT REQUIREMENTS

WARNING!

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:

- THE CAR SEAT MUST BE TIGHTLY SECURED BY THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT AT ALL TIMES. A VARIETY OF VEHICLE SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE IN VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLE SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE NOT SAFE FOR USE WITH THE CAR SEAT.

Even newer vehicles can have seat belts systems that are NOT safe for use with the car seat. These systems may look safe but their method of operation precludes their use with the car seat. If you are unsure if the vehicle seat belt is safe for use with the car seat, check the vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer, or your vehicle dealer for additional information.

4.3 SAFE Vehicle Seat Belt Systems

The following vehicle seat belt systems CAN BE USED with the car seat provided that all of the other requirements prescribed in these instructions, including seat position, secure installation and all instructions provided by your vehicle owner's manual, are followed.

4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location

Lap Belts (Manually Adjusted) A lap belt that is manually adjusted and will remain tightly adjusted around the car seat while the vehicle is in motion is suitable for use with the car seat. Pulling the belt through the buckle after the buckle is fastened tightens this type of seat belt (Fig.13a).

Lap Belts with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) A lap belt that cannot be lengthened once it is fastened is suitable for use with the car seat. These seat belts often have an automatic locking retractor (ALR) 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. 13b).

Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Locking Latch Plate A lap/shoulder combination seat belt with a latch plate that locks the lap belt into position is suitable for use with the car seat (Fig. 13c). Once this type of seat belt is fastened, the latch plate prevents the lap belt from loosening. This combination seat belt does not require a Locking Clip.

4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location

Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Sliding Latch Plate A combination lap/shoulder belt with a latch plate that can slide freely along the belt (Fig. 14a), is suitable for use with this car seat when the belt is locked to prevent movement of the car seat. If the vehicle belt includes a lockable retractor, the retractor MUST be locked or a locking clip MUST be used. If the vehicle belt does not include a lockable retractor then a locking clip (Fig. 14b), MUST always be used.

Please refer to the vehicle owner's manual to determine if your vehicle lap/shoulder belt includes a lockable retractor and how to lock it.

Contact Baby Trend at 1-800-328-7363 to obtain a Locking Clip.

4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location

4.4 Locking Clip Installation

Contact Baby Trend 1-800-328-7263 to acquire an approved Locking Clip. Locking Clip can be stored under the seat cover of the car seat (Fig. 15a).

1. Route the combination lap shoulder belt through vehicle belt path on car seat and buckle vehicle seat belt.
2. Tighten the buckled seat belt by pulling upward on the shoulder belt while pushing down on the car seat.

3. While maintaining downward pressure on the car seat, squeeze the vehicle shoulder belt and lap belt together just above the buckle to prevent it from moving. Unbuckle the vehicle seat belt, being careful to prevent movement of the buckle.

4. Secure the vehicle shoulder belt to the lap belt by using the Locking Clip 1.25 cm (1/2") from the buckle (Fig. 15b).

5. Re-buckle the seat belt and check that the seat belt is tightly adjusted and stays tight. Ensure that locking clip is secure on both belts.

Locking Clip can be stored under the seat cover next to instruction manual.

Fig. 15a

Fig. 15b

Test installation to make sure car seat is secure. If NOT secure, additional belt tightening is required. Repeat steps above until secure.

4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location

4.5 UNSAFE Vehicle Seat Belt Systems

DO NOT use the following types of seat belt systems with the car seat. These belt systems will not hold the car seat securely in place at all times. In addition, a Locking Clip used with this car seat will NOT make these belt systems safe to use. NEVER USE unsafe vehicle belts systems!

NOTE: LATCH can be used IN PLACE OF the following unsafe vehicle seat belts systems if your vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchorage system.

Lap Belts with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) 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 (ELR) and are often found in combination with motorized shoulder belts. Because these belts will allow the car seat to move about on the vehicle seat, the chance of the car seat being out of the proper position in a crash is very high. Accordingly, DO NOT use the car 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 car seat (Fig. 16a).

Fig. 16a

Fig. 16b

Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Retractor

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 car seat (Fig. 16b).

4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location

Passive Restraint – Lap or Shoulder Belt Mounted on Door DO NOT use a seat belt that is connected to the door in any way. These types of seat belts are designed to automatically surround the occupant when the door is closed. This type of seat belt will NOT adequately restrain the car seat (Fig. 17a).

Passive Restraint – Lap Belt with Motorized Shoulder Belt 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 car seat (Fig. 17b).

Lap Belts Forward of Seat Crease 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 seatback. This type of seat belt anchors the car seat too far forward and the car seat will not be safely restrained in the vehicle (Fig. 17c).

4.6 Preparation for Installation in Vehicle

When available, LATCH is the recommended method of securing the car seat in the vehicle.

WARNING!

DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:

• FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE THE CAR SEAT IN YOUR VEHICLE INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP, SHARP TURN OR CRASH.
• National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) alerts vehicle owners that, according to accident statistics, children under age 13 are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions rather than in front seating positions.

• Use car seats in a vehicle's rear seat location whenever possible.

• Park your vehicle on a level surface so that the Seat Angle Indicator located on the left side of the car seat will properly indicate the proper angle of recline of the seat.

1. Make sure you have selected an acceptable location for the car seat as instructed in Section 4.0 Selecting A Vehicle Seat Location.

4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location

1. Check again for any active frontal air bags. DO NOT use a location that has an active frontal air bag or is adjacent to an Active Air bag such that, when deployed, the Active Air bag may come into contact with the car seat. Many passenger side frontal air bags are designed to deploy to protect the passenger side as well as the center front seating position. Please see the active air bag warnings in your vehicle owner's manual to help determine unsafe locations in the vehicle.
2. If the front seat position is used, slide the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible to prevent the car seat from striking the dash in a crash. If the rear seat position is used, slide the vehicle seat directly in front of the car seat forward enough to prevent the car seat from striking the vehicle seatback in a crash.

4.7 Preparation for Installation with LATCH

Consult your vehicle owner's manual or manufacturer for location and availability of LATCH anchor points. NOT all vehicles have the same locations or maximum weight requirements for LATCH!
