What You Will Need
If you’re considering a baby trend hybrid car seat, here’s what you’ll need:
-Hybrid car seat
-Base and adapter
-Latch system (or similar)
-Rear facing infant carrier of your choice
-Tray for the base and adapter
-Wedge protector/base cap
1. First, choose a hybrid car seat that will fit in your vehicle. There are many options to choose from, so please consult the car seat manufacturer’s website or retailer for more information.
2. Next, purchase a base and adapter. You can find these items separately or as a set. The base must be large enough to accommodate the hybrid car seat, while the adapter must have an opening in it that corresponds with the latch system on the hybrid car seat.
3. If you’re using a rear facing infant carrier, you’ll also need to purchase a tray for the base and adapter. This tray should be wide enough to fit between your child’s legs and long enough to extend past their head and shoulders when they’re seated in the carrier. The tray should also have holes at either end that correspond with the clips on both the base and adapter.
4. Finally, purchase a wedge protector/base cap to keep debris off of your vehicle’s surface when installing or removing the hybrid car seat from your vehicle

1. Make sure the car seat is properly installed in the vehicle. The Baby Trend Hybrid should fit in most vehicles, but make sure to check the fitment guide online or at the store before purchase.
