USING INFANT SEAT

6.2 For the 5-Point Harness
• Type A: Put the two buckle tongues together,
overlaying the left buckle tongue onto the
right buckle tongue, and insert the two joined
buckle tongues into the harness buckle on
the crotch strap (Fig. 36-1). Type B: Insert
each buckle tongue into the harness buckle
(Fig. 36-2).
Make sure that you hear the tongues click
into the buckle and check that both are firmly
latched by pulling upward on the straps. If
the harness straps are not securely buckled,
the Infant Seat will NOT provide protection
for your child. DO NOT use the Infant Seat,
even as a carrier, if the harness does not
securely buckle. Please call Baby Trend at
1-800-328-7363 for assistance.
• From the front of the Infant Seat, pull outward on the Harness
Adjuster Strap to tighten the Harness Straps. Make sure that
both Harness Straps are flat and tight on your child’s shoulders.
The harness is properly tightened if you are not able to insert
more than one finger between the harness strap and your child’s
shoulder.
• Fasten the Harness Chest Clips together. Position the Harness
Chest Clip, by sliding the Clip either up or down on the
Harness Straps, so that it is level with the child’s armpits.

INSTALLATION
Accessory products for use with the Infant Seat are acceptable for
use provided that they do not interfere with the harness assembly,
or the proper adjustment of the harness such that it remains
tight on the child’s shoulders at all times. Thick, soft, or other
compressible material in excess of 0.64cm (1/4”) thick should
not be placed behind or under the child or between the child and
harness straps. Examples of accessory products are head support
pillows or rolled blankets to add additional head support.
SECURING THE INFANT SEAT OR BASE
IN THE VEHICLE
Please read carefully section 4.3, Check that the Vehicle Seat
Belt is Safe to Use, before proceeding with the installation of
the Infant Seat. Please understand that due to the extremely
large number of vehicles in use today, and the correspondingly
large number of safety belt systems, this section can only provide
guidance, as to the proper installation of the Infant Seat, that
must be combined with the information provided by your vehicle
manufacturer in order to obtain a proper and safe installation.
Failure to properly install and secure the Infant Seat in a rear
facing position within the vehicle increases the child’s risk of
death or serious injury in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop
or crash. Carefully follow these instructions, and the instructions
provided by your vehicle manufacturer for the installation of
Infant Seats, to ensure that the Infant Seat is properly located,
positioned and held tightly installed at all times.
