Steps on How to Install A Baby Trend Hybrid Car Seat

The Baby Trend brand is a popular hybrid car seat that has an adjustable headrest and will accommodate babies from birth to 40 pounds. For this installation, the rear-facing configuration was used for instructions.

Steps on How to Install A Baby Trend Hybrid Car Seat – Rear Facing Configuration:

Step 1. Locate your vehicle’s lower anchor strap anchors in the backseat or cargo area of your car and note where they are located before continuing with this step. If you don’t have these anchors, it might be time to purchase one!

These straps usually come installed in newer vehicles but not all drivers know how important installing them can be until there’s an emergency requiring their use. Trust us—install them for the sake of your baby’s safety!

Step 2. Connect one end of the car seat belt to the lower anchor strap or pre-installed anchors in your backseat. Run as much slack from the other side of this connection through, over, and beyond any child restraint systems already installed into a passenger seat.

Step 3. Place lap/shoulder portion across your vehicle’s front seats so that it is behind both driver and passenger seats (not under). Take excess length on either side out around each rear wheel well.

Please note 1: A properly fitted Baby Trend Hybrid Car Seat should have no more than an inch or two between you and the top edge of a Baby Trend Hybrid Car Seat at all times. Connect the lap/shoulder belt to your vehicle’s designated anchor point

Note 2: The shoulder section should lay flat against the chest – You may need a helper for this step. If you do, have them hold tight to both ends of the webbing and pull it taut while someone else does any necessary buckles or tightening.

Step 4. Remove slack from buckle end by pulling loose side around backseat until snug with car seat facing forward. Buckle loosely at first then tighten each strap tightly (ensure that there is no more than an inch between baby and top edge) before leaving space in between each other’s fingers when holding onto straps.

Tighten firmly but not too tightly. Buckle the seat belt tightly. Pull slack from loose end around front seat and buckle firmly

Step 5. Tighten each strap securely before leaving space in between one another’s fingers when holding onto straps. If you are not using a helper to tighten the bottom, loop excess webbing under itself for an extra measure of safety. Make sure there are no more than two inches of webbing leftover after securing it.

 

How to adjust the headrest on a Baby Trend hybrid car seat

Sometimes you will need to adjust the headrest so that it is at a suitable angle for your baby. To do this, pull out on the recline lever located above or below the seatback until you hear a click then push forward and release.

You may have to readjust the recline level if your infant needs more space in between his/her neck and chest area because of their weight distribution.

If you are not satisfied with any changes made, always check which settings return the carseat to its original position before re-adjusting anything again.

 

How to take the back off a Baby Trend car seat

The back of the Baby Trend car seat is held on via a set of two clips that you can lift to remove. When removing the back, make sure to pull it straight off from the top edge first and then at an angle.

If you are having trouble with this process, try inserting your fingers underneath one side of the clip while pulling up using both hands or use a pen (or other small objects) inserted into each side hole in order not to break any parts inside.

Once removed, go ahead and place onto another surface without touching anything inside for best results when installation is finished.

If you’ve just installed your new Baby Trend hybrid carseat but want more space between the baby’s neck and the headrest, you can purchase a neck cover to protect them from unwanted injuries.

If your infant has outgrown their rear-facing Baby Trend car seat and is ready for forward-facing installation, it’s time to consider whether or not they are tall enough for an adult safety belt when seated in the vehicle passenger seat.

To install the new child restraint system (CRS) properly without any issues or problems afterwards, be sure that all of the pieces have been removed before following these steps: -read all instructions included with this CRS before use -do not remove anything else other than parts mentioned on page three of these instructions including clips with plastic tab covers!
