There is a picture on the seat advising not to use a lap belt. The harness is removable though.

Hi Jennifer, Im not quite sure if the harness is removable but I dont know that the seat can work with the shoulder belts.

I too have not had to remove the harness. It appears that it would work with the seat belt since the seat belt would slide right under the cup rests and hold the seat and the child in place.

Yes, the harness is removable. I think the seat manufacturer recommends not using it if the child is over a certain weight. The shoulder/lap belt is the easiest I've used for our child. Great seat!

The one I purchased came with a round seat suspended on a rope. No harness of any kind. My kids are 9 & 10 yrs old and are fine without a harness. My total travel distance is about 60 feet. I do believe there are a bunch of harnesses on the market that can be clipped to this setup..

I'm not sure if the straps are completely removable but I know that you can use the lap straps alone.

If your child meets the requirements for a lap belt, this seat does have the option for using a belt. I'm not sure about a lap belt only, though I do know a shoulder strap belt works.

Well, the dog needs to be in a harness to use this, and it is adjustable up to a certain point. My thoughts are that I think the strap would not be long enough, and I'm not sure they make harnesses that big! Maybe try a regular seat belt (just kidding)!!

It is compatible with a lap belt. The user guide will provide specific instruction on how to install using the lap belt only.

I first put a harness on my dog and attach him to the safety strap provided. The strap is attached through the seat belt which hold the entire seat in place. See description. My dog didn't like the idea and first because he had free run of the car but quickly got use to the idea. He now jumps into the seat on his own.

There are no belts or hooks to connectto the seat belt or narness. For its size you could probaby put it on a back seat and then tighten it around the cage. The harness part would cross over the front of the carrier however. It is a strudy carrier.

The lap belt path below the armrest remains after the back is removed. The harness belt path that positions the belt across the chest does not remain after the back is removed. Jodi

I do not attach to shoulder I attach to lap belt. Also have a pet hammock in back seat so he is not thrown to floor

It appears like it would still work. There is a strap that will reach across the seat, attaching to some hooks on each end. There really seems to be a multitude of ways to make it work. I've only just recently used mine once and already had some other ideas of how to use it better.

I know this is an older question, but for those still wondering; YES! The NextFit was by far the easiest and quickest install using the seat belt. The lock-off works wonderfully. I couldn't even budge this seat once we have it installed.

I don't put the seat belt through the harness if that is what you are referring to. They sell very short leashes that can be hooked onto the harness then clipped to the seat belt and that has worked very well.

To keep your pet in place, have you used a harness with seat belt attachment?

William- I returned this seat but if I remember correctly, it loops "up" & secures around headrest. Try that & see if it works. We couldn't use it, our 3 lb. baby got all twisted even with the harness in use. Good luck!

Mine did not have a harness attachment; the lap belt part of the seat belt goes over the base to hold it in place. I have had my 25 lb schnauzer mix share the seat with a mini doxie just fine.

Yes it works very well. Not matter use seat belt or super latch. It will fit.
