SAFETY INFORMATION

1) About your Baby

1.1) 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.

1.2)

 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 baby 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 baby.

1.3)

 Never leave your child unattended, even for a moment.

1.4)

 Do Not Dress your child in bulky clothing or other garments that will 

hinder the harness from being snug around your baby and properly 

latched between your child's legs.

2) About your vehicle

2.1)

 Proper installation of the Safety Seat in your vehicle and proper securing 

of your child in the Safety Seat are essential to ensure 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.

2.2)

 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.

2.3)

 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.

2.4) 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.

2.5) This Safety Seat

 is certified for use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft and 

conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
