Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location
6.1 Overall Considerations for Selecting Seating
Location
• Please review your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the
best location for each Car Seat use mode, any specific instruc-
tions for Car Seat installation, or to determine if any locations
are unsafe for Car Seat installation. If you do not have the ve-
hicle owner’s manual or the owner’s manual does not address
child car seat installation, please contact the vehicle manufac-
turer to obtain this information before using the Car Seat.
• Use rear vehicle seating position whenever possible. According
to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in rear vehicle seating positions, rather than front
seating positions. Whenever possible, this Car Seat should be
secured in the rear center, seating position. The rear center
position sometimes is equipped with a vehicle lap belt only
and CANNOT be used when this Car Seat is used as a booster
seat
WITHOUT
the Built-in Safety Harness.
• 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.
• Use a vehicle seating location that has a tether anchor when-
ever 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 installa-
tion 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 manufac-
tured 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, identifi-
cation and requirements for use with a child restraint.
ONLY
use
LATCH
to secure your car seat
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 Hybrid 3-in-1 Toddler Car Seat (
WITH
Harness) can be used with the LATCH
system to the maximum weight for
harness use - 50 lbs. * (23 kg).
The Hybrid 3-in-1 Booster Car Seat
(
WITHOUT
Harness) may be secured with
LATCH in the High-back Booster use mode
to 100 lbs. (45 kg).”
* IMPORTANT: Some vehicle manufacturers
have lower weight rating for
LATCH
lower 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 lower anchors.
