Could the anchor strap be hooked into the lower metal anchors in the car used for latch style car seats instead of the seatbelt?

I would imagine it could. Depending on the size of the dog. My dog is tall, so it would need an extension to make it high enough for her to stand if she wanted to, which she loves to stick her nose out the window.

Hi, I think that would be a great idea as long as the tether was long enough so the dog was comfortable. You could always hook two of them together to make it longer if needed. I'm glad you asked because this safety harness saved our little chihuahua (Bitsy's) life. I didn't think a car harness was necessary, but we were going on a lot of long trips and my daughter nagged me until I got one. Six months later we were hit by a cab at 65mph on a 3 lane interstate. Bitsy was hooked to my daughters seatbelt (front passenger), unfortunately the seatbelt did NOT lock and airbag did NOT deploy. My daughters head shattered our windshield and she and Bitsy were thrown around as the car spun around 5 times then hit the center concrete divider head on!! We all suffered severe whiplash and Bitsy injured her left leg but we are certain that if not tethered she would have shot out of the car on impact and been dead. I am so grateful she had her harness and if only Toyota's safety equipment had worked properly they both would have not been injured. I wish I could have thought to tether both of them to the anchor but who knew. I will hook Bitsy to it next time. Good luck!

I don't think so? I used it with a peg perego convertible carseat and it worked fine. If I remember correctly, the straps follow the same path that you would use if you used the seatbelt installation options.

Not very easily, no. You could possibly hook the straps through the child seat anchors, but I've never tried it. Good luck!

I found it difficult to attach to a regular width seatbelt and never used mine. Seemed like it would better fit a child's car seat straps. I bought a plastic clip at the Toyota dealer that I love.

Yes, I have used the LATCH/Isofix system with no problem. It has cut outs to accommodate either this or standard lap/shoulder seat belts.

Yes. It can be used with the seatbelt, but does not have the Latch option without the base.

I don't see why not??? I think the straps are long enough to do this. Good luck.

Yes, initially I thought it wouldn't . I just had to look at the straps a little closer. Use the strap from the end of the metal support.

Yes. I also have the latch system but use the seat belt with this seat. The new click tight system for the seat belt gets the seat super tight!

Not sure. Probably, but I would check the specifications. I know the anchoring strap is adjustable.

I do not think so. You have to tie and hook the straps on a rack, something stable on top of your car.

Nope, that wouldn't work. It's a long strap so that would not be an option.

I dont think the design would work for that..this is a pretty loose strap system.

It can only be used where there are anchors for a child seat. Check by feeling on the sides inside the crack of the seat, there should be metal bars on each side. If not, then two of the three points used for the restraint would be cut out of the picture, and it would have to be used in the back to really serve its purpose.

Yes, but you will need anchor points at least for the straps to pass through; cracking your windows and passing the straps through the inside of the car would work in pinch....

I believe you can, if you have "tracks" on the car to hook the straps on to.

SGL just means they included the LATCH system anchors to the Parkway SG model. Since the LATCH anchors are only used to hold the seat in place... regardless of whether or not you use the latch, you would still use the vehicle seat belt to restrain the child. One perceived downside to not using the latch, is that there is nothing holding the seat in place when the child is not in it - meaning there is a chance it could shift/move in the case of an accident. But we haven't found it to be problematic in our every day driving.
