Can this be installed in a car that doesn't have latches?

Yes, my wife doesn't have a latch or tether system in her Toyota. It works really with the seat belt - better than any other seat we've seen.

You can only use the rigid latches in a standard latch position - so if your owners manual ids that position as a latch compatible one it'll be fine but not if it means borrowing from the sides.

No, just a that latch that keeps it shut, even if you put a lock on one side the hindges are not very secure and will look tacky.

what year is your vehicle? unless it's an older vehicle, it should have a latch. check your owners manual to be certain. without the latch system I am unsure if you could use this product

Yes, we have a Honda Fit and the seat has all the right latches. It doesn't move at all while driving.

As far as using the belt installation for a vehicle and not te LATCH it is definitely doable. I have two do these seats and both are installed with the belt and not LATCH and both are very secure.

Yes you can. If your seat belt isn't long enough you should be able to remove the screws holding the latches for a new car and put seat belt thru it and buckle in then screw piece back in. It would be a more permanent attachment. Just make sure you pull the seat belt all the way out so it doesn't have any play in it.

Our vehicle does not have a latch system either; we just put the seatbelt through the seat while applying downward pressure to the seat itself. It installs very easily. We are very pleased - it is really light and simple to take in and out of the car.

The LATCH straps seemed like they would be easy to install because you just clip them into the car and pull the extra strap to tighten. However, once I clipped them into the LATCH hooks on the car, I wasn't strong enough to cinch them tight enough. Same goes for the top tether; my husband had to tighten it. I wouldn't have been able to install the seat on my own.

Doesn't have to be installed with LATCH. It is a bit more difficult to install 3 across with seatbelts but do able. I mean as long as you don't mind scraped up hands :) Diono makes me easier to do this than most because you can access the belt path via a Velcro path on each side of the seat. Any other seat you would need to remove the cover to access the belt path then try putting cover back on after its installed.

I don't do it that often but find it rather easy. However I do have the latch system and it fits easily in my impala. I can move it to my mother in laws jeep but cant fit the jeeps latch system, think I'm doing something wrong. I can confidently install it forward facing in the jeep and thats what I do. All in all, takes about 10 min and I don't do it often.

You can if you use the seat belt to install the car seat not sure if the latch system is acessible. It is a great cover and it does have the openings for the seat belts, it is specifically designed for the pilot.

you don't have to use the latches, but if your car is not equipped with them you can buy the version without the straps and save money. I wanted the one with the latches because my granddaughters are slim and I worried about the booster moving under them

Nope; not latch-equipped. But, as with all Britax care seats - absolutely phenomenal quality and comfort. My 5-year old loves it.

You should be able to install the latch at any height as long as it is accessable from the side of the post.

Yes. The latch will simply be on the opposite side. Both sides are keyed and have a mechanism to raise the latch.

No. You will need to use the lock from your original latch. The OEM lock is very easy to remove then install in this new latch.
