LOCATION

1) Overall Considerations in Selecting a Location

1.1) The rear seating positions have been shown to be statistically safer for

children than the front seating position.

1.2) We recommend that you use the center rear seat position as the

safestlocation for the Safety Seat. In addition, whenever possible, have

an adult ride in the rear with the child in order to monitor the child.

1.3) 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.

2) Check that the Vehicle Seat Meets the Following Requirements:

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 (800) 328-7363 for additional

information or assistance.

2.1) 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.

2.2) DO NOT place this Safety Seat in any vehicle seat

that faces to the rear or to either side of the vehicle.

(Fig. 14-1 & 14-2).

2.3) DO NOT use this Safety Seat in a vehicle that has a

vehicle seat back that does not lock into place. A

seat back that folds forward must have a latch or

locking mechanism to prevent it from flying forward

and striking the child in a sudden stop or accident.

2.4) Please review your vehicle owner's manual to

determine the best location for the Safety Seat or to

determine if any locations are unsafe for safety seat

installation. If you do not have the vehicle owner's

manual or the owner's manual does not address child

safety seat installation, please contact the vehicle

manufacturer to obtain this information before using

the safety seat.

3) Check that the Vehicle Seat Belt is Safe to Use

3.1) The Safety Seat is designed to be tightly installed at all times. The vehicle

seat belt must be capable of maintaining tight installation at all times. A

variety of vehicle seat belt systems have been installed on vehicles that

are not safe for use with the Safety Seat. Even newer vehicles can have

seat belts systems that are not safe for use with the Safety Seat. These

systems may look safe but their method of operation precludes their use

with the Safety Seat. If you are unsure if the vehicle seat belt is safe for

use with the Safety Seat, please contact the vehicle manufacturer for

additional information.

Carefully analyze the operation of the vehicle safety belts before

using the Safety Seat. Being able to thread the vehicle seat belt

through the Safety Seat or Base is not an indication that the

vehicle seat belt is safe to use. Carefully read this section on

seat belt systems, review your vehicle owner's manual in detail,

and heed any and all warning labels on your vehicle's seat belt.

Your vehicle may require a modification or special seat belt in

order to be safely used with this Safety Seat. Please see your

vehicle dealer for this service.
