BabyTrend 6385B - FLEX-LOC INFANT CAR SEAT - JET - Manual (Page 8)

Failure to properly adjust the harness on your child
increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
a sharp turn, sudden stop or crash. Please follow the
instructions very closely to ensure that the harness is
properly adjusted to fit your child at all times. Your child
will grow very rapidly! Please check the fit of the harness
every time you use the Safety Seat.
9) Use of the Safety Seat with the Base:
9.1) Squeeze the Base Release handle, located
below the foot end of the Safety Seat, to
release the Safety Seat from the Base.
Please see figure 28-1.
9.2) To attach the Safety Seat to the Base, align
the Safety seat with the Base and push down
until the Safety Seat latches onto the Base.
Check that both sides of the Safety Seat are
securely attached to the base.
10) Operation of the Carry Handle
10.1) The Carry Handle has three positions: the
upright carry position, a mid-storage
position, and the non-rocking position.
10.2) Depress the two buttons located on the
handle just above the connection to the
Safety Seat shell to release the handle.
10.3) Slowly rotate the handle to the desired
position. The buttons should pop out and
the handle should automatically lock into
the new position.
10.4) Before lifting the Safety Seat, push on the
handle to check that both sides of the
handle have locked into place.
10.5) Use the Mid Storage or non-rocking
position when the Safety seat is the vehicle.
11) Attaching the Canopy
11.1) Slip the canopy stays through the
sleeves on the canopy.
11.2) The canopy is attached by inserting the
ends of the canopy plastic stays into the
female fittings found on the inside of
the handle hub.
12) Adjustment of the Shoulder Straps.
12.1) Adjustable Back Safety Seat
12.1.1) The Adjustable Back Safety Seat includes a
sliding back component that will adjust the height
of the harness straps as the back is adjusted.
12.1.2) To adjust the seat back height, turn the moving
back adjuster knob behind the seat clockwise to
increase the seat back height and counter
clockwise to decrease the seat back height. Each
half turn will raise or lower the slots 1/2".
12.1.3) The proper height of the harness straps is even
with or just below your child's shoulders.
12.1.4) Remove the Safety Seat from the Base and rotate
the Carry Handle to the non rocking position.
Place your child in the Safety Seat such that your
child's bottom is all the way to the rear and bottom
of the seat. (See Fig. 32-1) Rotate the knob behind
the seat back to raise or lower the moving seat back
and harness straps. Knob must remain in vertical
position after adjustment. (Fig. 31-1) The Harness
Straps must be even with or just below the child's
shoulders. (Fig. 31-2) DO NOT use the Safety
Seat with the Harness adjusted above the child's
shoulders as the child will not be held securely in a
sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash.
