• Please review your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the
best location for each Car Seat use mode, any specific
instructions for Car Seat installation, 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 the Car Seat.
• Use a rear seat location whenever possible. Rear seating
locations have been shown to be statistically safer for children
than a front seating location.
• Only use a vehicle front seating location if specifically allowed
in vehicle owner’s manual and following all instructions in the
vehicle owner’s manual.
• Baby Trend recommends that you use
the vehicle center rear seat location
when possible as this is the safest
location for the Car Seat.
• Use a vehicle seating location that
has a tether anchor whenever possible.
Installation with Top Tether is Recommended.
a. Baby Trend requires using the Top Tether provided
with this car seat whenever possible.
Installation of a car seat using the Top Tether can
make getting a secure installation easier and can
reduce the risk of injury in a crash.
b. The car seat may be installed without the Top Tether
when a vehicle tether anchor is not available.

LATCH
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) System is
designed to make installation of child car seats easier by
requiring child restraints to be installed without using the
vehicle’s seat belt system. Since September 1, 2002, at least two rear
seating positions of all cars, mini vans and light trucks come equipped
with lower child restraint anchor points located between a vehicle’s
seat cushion and seat back. These vehicles are also equipped with at
least 3 top tether anchorages located behind the vehicle seat. Together,
the lower anchors and top tether make up the LATCH system. All child
restraints manufactured since September 1, 2002 have lower anchor
and top tether attachments which will connect to the vehicle’s LATCH
System. Read your vehicle owner’s manual for exact locations,
identification and requirements for use with a child restraint.
ONLY use LATCH to secure your child
restraint in a seating position recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer for LATCH
installation. Refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual for the vehicle’s top tether anchor
locations. Vehicle anchorages should be
identified by one of the following symbols.
The EuroSport Toddler Car Seat (
WITH
Harness) can be used with the LATCH
system to the maximum weight for
harness use - 50 lbs. * (23 kg).
The EuroSport Booster Car Seat
(
WITHOUT
Harness) may be secured
with the LATCH in the Booster use
mode to 100 lbs. (45 kg).
* IMPORTANT: Some vehicle manufacturers
have lower weight rating for LATCH anchors
when used with Toddler Car Seat. Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for limits on your vehicle’s
LATCH anchors.
