Hi - If it is an infant carrier Group 0+ carseat it must never be installed facing forwards. It is designed as a rear facing carseat to keep your child safe in the event of an accident. Always install a carseat according to the instructions.

The manual on how to do this can be found at www.babytrend.com.

To attach the Baby Trend Infant Car Seat, recline
the seat all the way back.
• Position the Infant Car Seat, facing toward the
rear of the jogger, so that the seat shell goes
into the Child Tray and latches into place.
(Fig. 13a) Check that the Infant Car Seat
is firmly locked onto the Child Tray before
using.
• Check that the front Child Tray is firmly
attached to the jogger's armrests. Make sure
that the car seat locks into the front Child Tray.
Then turn tabs on stroller frame to lock the
front of the car seat into the stroller. (Fig. 13b)
• To remove the Infant Car Seat, squeeze the
release handle located at the foot-end of the

Types of car safety seats at a glance
The chart below is a quick guide on where to start your search. However, it’s important to read more about the features and how to use your car safety seat.
Age Type of Seat General Guideline Infants Infant seats and rear-facing convertible seats All infants should always ride rear-facing until they are at least 1 year of age and weigh at least 20 pounds. Toddlers/Preschoolers Convertible seats It is best to ride rear-facing as long as possible. Children 1 year of age and at least 20 pounds can ride forward-facing. School-aged children Booster seats Booster seats are for older children who have outgrown their forward-facing car safety seats. Children should stay in a booster seat until adult belts fit correctly (usually when a child reaches about 4' 9" in height and is between 8 and 12 years of age). Older children Seat belts Children who have outgrown their booster seats should ride in a lap and shoulder belt in the back seat until 13 years of age.

My Gerber infant seat worked fine and firedepartment said they checked good.

I don't have a link for the manual, but I am a Dad. Most the time they use the lap belt to run acrossed the center of the car seat. If your child is an infant, then they should be facing backward. Sometimes the car seat will come with a base that the infant seat locks into. You use the seat belt on the base for this kind and then lacth the infant seat into it.

Most of the time, police and fire stations will offer assistance with installing car seats properly, in case I didn't help.

Good luck!
