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.

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

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.
