8. A lap/shoulder combination seat belt with

a

buckle that can slide freely along the seat

belt may require the use of a locking clip.

(Fig. 42-2) Check your vehicle’s owner’s

manual to see if the vehicle manufacturer

has provided an alternate manner, such

as a locking retractor in which to prevent

movement of the lap portion of the seat belt.
• To install the locking clip, tighten the

buckled seat belt by pulling upward on

the shoulder portion of the seat belt

while pushing down hard on the Safety

Seat or Base.

• While maintaining downward pressure

on the Safety Seat or Base, squeeze the

shoulder belt and lap belt together just

above the buckle to prevent from moving.

Unbuckle the seat belt being careful to

prevent movement of the buckle.

• Secure the shoulder belt to the lap belt

by installing the locking clip 1/2 inch from

the buckle as shown in Fig. 42-3.

• Re-buckle the seat belt and check that

the seat belt is very tight around the

Safety Seat or Base. Pull on the lap belt

to ensure that the locking clip is locking

the lap belt and it remains very tight.

9. If you are using the Base, check that

nothing is on top of the base, or anything

that will interfere with the proper latching

of the Safety Seat to the Base. Place

the Safety Seat onto the Base and

push down until the Safety Seat latches

securely to the Base and you hear a

click. Pull upward on the Safety Seat to

check that the Safety Seat is securely

latched onto the base. (Fig. 43-1)

If the Safety Seat does not securely latch onto the Base, the

Safety Seat will NOT provide Protection for your child.

DO NOT

use the Safety Seat with the Base if it does not securely latch into

place. Please call Baby Trend at 1-800-328-7363 for assistance.

7.3 Installation of the Base using LATCH

Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (

LATCH) System is

designed to make installation of child safety seats easier by

requiring child safety seats to be installed without using the

vehicle’s seat belt system. By September 1, 2002, two rear seating

positions of all cars, mini vans and light trucks will come equipped

with lower child safety seat anchor points located between a

vehicle’s seat cushion and seat back. Also by September 1, 2002,

all child safety seats will have two attachments which will connect

to the vehicle’s lower anchor points. Together, the lower anchors

and upper tethers make up the

LATCH system. Rear-facing infant

seats do not make use of the upper tether.
