How is this secured? Latch system? Is it just sitting on the car cushion, and the seat belt goes over the child?

It's a booster so it does not attach to the car. My older son sits on it and uses regular seatbelt to buckle in.

It sits on the car's cushion and you use the car's seatbelt to strap the child.

We purchased three of these seats when our grandchildren were visiting last year; I believe we latched them on to the seat belts and they remained in the car that way. Not sure what you mean by Latch. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

No, they rest on the padded bracket and a buckle is snapped through the grooves on the car seat. It was very safe, and sturdy and very handy when they were little. We used it for a few months.

Yes, there are straps in the back to secure it with a seatbelt. However, the position of the straps seems to not allow the case to lay directly onto the seat. So, it left room between the car seat and the carrier. I found a way to make it work. However, seat belt extender could possibly be needed in some cases.

It has a latch system for the base unit. If need be you can use a seatbelt with the car seat by itself.

Hi! It's actually a booster so it just uses the car's seatbelt which is guided through a loop. My son is a very large, nearly 4 year old and he is just big enough for this seat.

It has an adjustable buckle strap at the top, that goes around the car's headrest. Another elastic strap in the middle that you slide over the seat, to hold the rear part of the seat in place (also a small 'pocket' to tuck under the seat cushion). And a third elastic strap at the bottom of the cover to slide under the seat. The bottom strap didn't work for the seat in my car (the way the seat is attached to the floor of car). I cut the elastic in two and tied it to the bottom of the seat.

The car seat is a booster. It sits on the backseat of the car and is fastened in place by the combination lap and shoulder belt of the car.

I would say not a good place. The shoulder part of the car seatbelt feeds through a clip at the child's shoulder and then the lap part of the car seat belt goes over their lap and connects. The car seat does not have any belts on it.

You can install this seat using the car seat belt (instead of latch), and in fact the manual says that you should use the car seat belt if your child is over 40 pounds even if you do have latch. HOWEVER, I installed this seat using the seat belt in my husband's car and it was not secure at all. I actually returned the seat and got one with click tight. I highly recommend getting a Britax 90 or another model with click tight. It is very easy to install these using the seatbelt and they are extremely secure (seat dosen't budge at all!).

No, it comes with straps to secure any kind of car seat whether it be for infants or convertibles. You would feed the straps through the seatbelt guide paths on your car seat, secure the strap & then tighten securely.

I used carabiner clips to attach the straps to the child safety anchors on each side above the seat backs. It worked perfectly in a car with no headrests :-)

It attaches to the car's lap belt to prevent the child from "submarining" or sliding under the seatbelt in the event of a sudden stop. It is a very good safety feature. One of the main reasons I purchased this booster seat.

We are not using the top tether for our 4 year old in this car seat. The seat is very secure with only the seat belt installation.

You can use the seatbelt without too much trouble except for the center which requires more planning. The slots are well aligned for my car. I usually just unhook one side and fold it out of the way so passengers don't have to sit on a dirty cover. Never tried to install a car seat over it, but I think it would work.

no latching system. It's booster so the seat belt attaches the seat to car.

You can use the seatbelt. Most cars LATCH systems are only supported until 40 pounds. Love this carseat!
