TODDLER CAR SEAT USE
(
WITH
Built-in Harness System)
Child MUST meet all of the following requirements
to use the Toddler Car Seat mode:
• Child must be at least 1 year
old and able to sit upright
unassisted and
• Weigh between 22 and
50 lbs. (10 and 23 kg) and
• Child’s height is between
29 and 48 in. (74 and
122 cm) and
• Top of child’s shoulders are
at or below top harness slots.
Baby Trend and the American Academy of
Pediatrics recommend using a Car Seat
WITH
Built-in Harness as long as possible
before changing to a Booster Car Seat.
The Toddler Car Seat mode should be used
until the child exceeds either 50 lbs. (23 kg),
48 in. (122 cm), or shoulders are above top
harness slots.
Note: If child’s shoulders are above the top harness slots, child is too
large to use build-in harness system. Discontinue use of Body Insert
when child’s shoulders are above Harness Strap Slots in second row
up from the bottom on the back support.
5.3
HIGH-BACK BOOSTER CAR SEAT USE
(
WITHOUT
Built-in Harness System)
Child MUST meet all of the following requirements
to use the High-back Booster Car Seat mode:
• Child’s weight is between
40 and 100 lbs. (18.1
and 45 kg) and
• Child’s height is between
38 and 50 in. (96 and
127 cm) and
• Child must be at least 4 years
of age.
Baby Trend and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend
using a High-back Booster Car Seat as long as possible before
changing to a Backless Booster Car Seat. The High-back Booster
Car Seat should be used until the child’s shoulders do not fit
comfortably under the side wings of the Head Support.
Parents are advised that the Back Support and Head Support of the
High-back Booster Car Seat provide incremental crash protection in
frontal and side impact crashes. Removing the Back Support and
Head Support earlier than necessary also removes the incremental
crash protection.
