WARNING!
• Not every location within an vehicle may be safe for the
installation of this car seat. Car seat must be tightly secured
and remain tightly secured at all time. Some vehicles have no
seating position installation of a car seat. Improper placement
or use of a car seat that is not tightly secured in 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 the car seat. If you are uncertain about the proper
location of the car seat within the vehicle, contact your vehicle
manufacturer directly or through their dealer before using the
car seat. You are also invited to call Baby Trend at

WARNING!
4.1 Overall Considerations in Selecting a Location
• 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 seat directly
behind the front seats NOT in a third
row rear seat (Fig. 10a).

• ONLY place in a forward-facing vehicle seat.
DO NOT place this car seat in any vehicle
seat that faces to the rear (Fig. 10b).
• DO NOT place this car seat in any vehicle seat
that faces to either side of the vehicle
(Fig. 10c).
• We recommend that you use the center rear
seat position as the safest location for the car
seat. In addition, whenever possible, have an
adult ride in the rear with the child in order to
monitor the child.
NOTE: UAS system may not be available in
the center rear seat position. Install with a
vehicle seat belt if UAS is not available.
• If the driver is the only adult in the vehicle and the child requires
constant monitoring, then a vehicle front seating position may be
used if there is no passenger side Active Frontal Air bag and all of
the following requirements are met for this location.
