Using the Stroller as an Infant Car Seat Carrier
The Big Caboose will accommodate a car seat carrier in EACH of the front seating locations. Follow the same instructions for each seat if two car seats are to be installed.
•To use the stroller to carry an infant car seat carrier, you must replace the Child Tray with the Car Seat Carrier Support.
•Remove the Child Tray by pressing in on the lock tabs and pulling the tray off the brackets. Store the tray in a convenient place for later use.
•Line up the female fittings on the
Car Seat Carrier Support to the male fittings on the front of the stroller and push inward until the fittings snap into place. See Figure 23. Pull outward on both sides of the support to be sure both are snapped securely in place.
•Push the canopy to its most rearward position.
•Adjust the seatback to its reclined position.
•Remove the infant carrier from the car seat base.
•Place the infant carrier onto the top of the stroller in a REAR FACING POSITION, locating the head end of the carrier so that it rests on the Car Seat Carrier Support and the feet end of the carrier so that it rests on the seatback, but NOT on top of the edge of the seatback. See Figure 24.
•Insure that the head end of the infant carrier is pushed down firmly inside the frame of the Car Seat Carrier Support and that it is centered side to side.
•Remove the carrier restraining straps from the pouches on both sides of the stroller. Buckle them in place over the LOWEST part of the carrier sides. Adjust the straps so

they are tight around the carrier but AWAY from the child’s neck. Pull up on the carrier to be sure it is held on securely. See Figure 25.
•Always check frequently to be sure that the restraining straps are tight across the infant carrier but away from the child’s neck.
•When you remove the infant carrier from the stroller, always replace the two restraining straps back into their side pouches.
