Handle up or down?

You have to pull out the side things as you're pushing the button to raise it and push both of them in to lower it. Took me about 15 mins to figure out lol

Proper installation of a car seat is imperative to protectan infant. Accidents do happen and assuring that the instructions forinstallation of the Graco Infant Restraint/Carrier are followed will increasethe chances of preventing injury or death as a result of an accident. Graco carseats are a popular choice among parents due the availability of products atcommon retail stores, affordability and user-friendly baby gear.Graco Car SeatInstallation
Step 1
Plan to secure the infant seat facing the rear inthe middle of the back seat. If a center position is not available, positionthe seat directly behind the driver's side seat. For safety reasons, therestraint should not be placed in a position where there is an air bag. Ensurethat the proper vehicle lap belt system is in place; manually adjusted lapbelts, automatic locking retractor lap belts and lap/shoulder belts withlocking latch plates are all considered safe for use with the Graco InfantCarrier/Restraint.Step 2
Remove the carrier from the Graco car seat baseby squeezing the lever at the rear of the restraint and lifting the seat up.Place the base in the vehicle facing the rear. Thread the vehicle shoulder andlap belts through openings at the end of the base without twisting the belts.Secure the belts by placing plastic tongue over the belts. Tighten the vehiclebelts by pushing down on the base and pulling out any slack.Step 3Install locking clip to secure shoulder and lapbelt together just above the seat belt buckle. Connect the two belts with thelocking clip. Buckle the lap belt system and tighten by pulling out any slack.Ensure that car seat base is secure by pulling and pushing on it; the baseshould not move sideways, forward or backward.Step 4
Place the Graco carrier in the base. Push down onthe restraint until it clicks and locks into the base. Set the infant in therestraint for travel and place harness straps over the baby's shoulders. Clickthe chest place together over the sternum and lock the buckles into placebetween the legs.Tipsand Warnings

• Contact local police departments, hospitals and fire departments to inquire about child car seat safety checks
• Graco Infant Restraint/Carrier will not protect against serious injury or death if not installed properly. Always read the Graco owner's manual that comes with product prior to attempting installation and travel with an infant.

These car seats seem to have a problem in the release mechanism that
lets the handle move. We have found that lifting the handle a bit as you press
the releases can help. Try pulling toward the front of the car seat, then pressing
the release buttons. If all else fails, call Baby Trend and complain. It just might
get you a replacement if you can prove it is a danger to the child in the seat.

The steering handle has a red switch on it. Pull the switch to the right and then twist the handle grip forward. The stroller should start to collapse.

Infant seats sit rear facing. You'll have to recline the stroller seat. Then the clip on the infant seat will grab the food tray and lock it in. Your stroller might have come with an additional strap to secure the seat once you have it locked.

We think you mean the bar is locked in position and cannot be moved to enable you to carry the seat and use it correctly? Please contact your retailer with proof of purchase if the seat is under 2 years old for them to send it to the engineers for inspection/repair work required.

Squeeze the side grips and pull forward.

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
seat and carefully lift upward on the seat.

Hopefully that helps!

you have to unhook the tabs for the canopy that is located by th button that pushes the carrying handle back

The sun canopy is located in the rim of the shell.
• Place the carrying handle in the carrying position.
• Open the rim by pushing the button at the back under the rim and releasing it.
• The sun canopy is now visible in the opening
• Pull it out and place the ends of the sun canopy with the buttonholes over the hooks on the carrying
handle
• When storing the sun canopy, make sure you place it in the rim carefully and close the rim properly
