LOCATION

•  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.  

4.2 Check that the Vehicle Seat Meets the Following  

Requirements

•  

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.

SELECTING THE BEST LOCATION FOR 

THE SAFETY SEAT

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.

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 

at 1-800-328-7363 for additional information or assistance.

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. 

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.
