BabyTrend HYBRID 3-IN-1 - Manual (Page 22)

The “REAR ENTRY” belt routing must
be used when a Top Tether is NOT used
to secure this Car Seat.
Note: Installation with Top Tether is
recommended whenever possible.
Baby Trend requires using the Top Tether
provided with this Car Seat whenever possible.
However when a tether anchor is not available
in the vehicle, the Car Seat can be secured
without the Top Tether. Always store the Top
Tether when not in use by securing the tether
hook to the Tether Storage on the lower
back of the Back Support as shown.
Based on the seating location selected, identify
if LATCH or a vehicle lalp/shoulder or lap belt
only will be used to secure the car seat. Use
the LATCH system when available. Follow the
steps in the following sections for the type of
belt that will be used to secure the car seat.
Note: Store tether on back of seat when
not in use.
