Warnings to alert you to possible dangers

The ultimate safety of your baby depends on the proper installation of the Safety

Seat in your vehicle. Proper installation requires that you read and understand

this entire manual and your vehicle's owner's manual before placing your baby

in the Safety Seat. DO NOT allow others to install or use this safety seat unless

they completely understand it's proper use and installation.

Improper use of this Safety Seat can result in death or serious injury from a

crash, sharp turn or sudden stop.

Your baby's safety requires:

1. Choosing the best location within your vehicle for the Safety Seat. Seating

positions with Active Air Bags must be avoided.

2. Adjust the harness shoulder strap locations to the appropriate height of

your baby.

3. Adjust the harness length to be snug around your baby.

4. This Safety Seat is to be used in the rear facing position only.

5. Proper use and routing of the seat belts in your vehicle is essential for proper

installation. Not all vehicle seat belts will adequately secure the Safety Seat.

Safety Information

1) About your Baby

a) This Safety Seat is designed and tested to accommodate a child of a

specific range of height and weight. Using the Safety Seat for a child

whose weight or height is outside of these limits will increase the risk of

death or serious injury in the event of a crash. Please see the Warning

label on the Safety Seat located on the child's right side for weight and

height limits for your model.

b) Special needs children, such as pre-term babies, may suffer difficulties in

using this Safety Seat. The angle of recline in this Safety Seat may not be

appropriate for Special Needs babies. If your baby has special needs or any

breathing difficulties, please discuss vehicle Safety Seats with your

pediatrician, or other competent health care provider, to ensure the safety of

your baby.

c) Never leave your child unattended, even for a moment.

d) Do Not Dress your child in bulky clothing or other garments that will

hinder the harness from being snug around your baby and properly latched

between your child's legs.

2) About your vehicle

a) Proper installation of the Safety Seat in your vehicle and proper securing of

your child in the Safety Seat are essential to ensure the safety of your child.

Quick turns, sudden stops, or other maneuvers in avoiding a crash, as well

as a crash, can injure your child if not properly secured in the seat or if the

seat is not properly installed in the vehicle.

b) There are many different types of vehicles, seat belt systems, or other

occupant restraint systems in use today. Accordingly, this manual can only

give guidelines for proper installation in your vehicle. In addition to this

manual, you must also read and understand the vehicle owner's

manual, which should address use of child restraints. If your vehicle

owner's manual does not address the installation of child restraints, please

contact your local vehicle dealer, or the vehicle's manufacturer, to obtain

this information before using this Safety Seat.

c) Some vehicles do not have any safe location for this Safety Seat to be

installed. In addition, many vehicles do not have seat belt systems that

will adequately hold this Safety Seat in the required position. Please refer

to both this manual and your vehicle owner's manual for complete

information for proper safe installation of this Safety Seat.

d) Never combine this Safety Seat or Base with any other Safety Seat or Base

from any other manufacturer. If you are in need of an additional Base,

please contact your local dealer or Baby Trend, Inc. to obtain one.

e) This Safety Seat is certified for use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft and

conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
