It is easy to install in car for rear-facing and forward facing? Can I use the seat belt to install this seat?

This seat is very easy to install and it feels safer than the Recaro Proride I was comparing it with. It installs with the latch system or a seatbelt, I personally use both for added protection.

Although I have never used it in the rear facing position, the instructions cover that kind of installation also and there is an infant insert in the package.

It is very easy to instal but I prefer to use it with the latch system over the seatbelt. My daughter loves it and sits in the very back of my van and if I use the seat belt is seems to move just a little.

Laura, you can NEVER install any car seat using both the seat belt and latch system. You must use one or the other. Both are equally safe as long as you get a proper installation. We have had seats that just don't install well in our car using latch, but we can get a great secure install with the seat belt. Install with each and see which one gets the best recline for your kid and make sure there is an inch or less of movement at the belt path.

Yes, a seatbelt install is just as safe! This seat is quite easy to install with the seatbelt, as long as you read the manual.

I did have this rear facing but I believe I had it on the side in the back seat not in the center. It fit well on the side. At the time I only had one seat in the car so I didn't have problem with it fitting. forward facing it's great :)

It depends, are you installing it rear facing or forward facing? Rear facing: It does sit up pretty high on the base, so depending on where you have it in the back seat and how tall you are, it could block your view looking out the back windows. Other than that you shouldn't have a problem fitting it in there. To install rear facing you have to take the seat cushion off, thread the seat belt through, close the lock-offs, and put the seat cushion back on. It's not necessarily HARD, once you get used to it...but it's not super quick, and it's not the easiest to understand for a grandparent or babysitter/nanny who doesn't use the car seat every day. Forward facing: pretty easy install, especially if you can use the rigid latch but you have to check the latch limits for your vehicle first. Clek has apparently approved the use of the rigid latch AND seat belt at the same time on this seat, so you can call them about that too. The REACT technology doesn't do much good if it's not installed with latch (for forward facing).

Yes, this car seat can be used rear facing for children 5 to 45 lbs. and forward facing for children 22 to 65 lbs.

Farah, I haven't purchased the carseats yet, have you purchased them?I think it won't be a problem when the seats are facing forward, the problem is when facing to the rear side of the car...

You can use the seat belt it comes with a seat belt locking latch on the underneath of the car seat. Forward facing it has a slot in the back of the car seat to secure the belt thru.

Do you mean a smaller infant seat or one like Britax Boulevard that csn be installed facing front or rear? I didn't use it on our Graco infant seat (the type you install rear facing with seat base that stays in car generally), but it should fit since it is smaller. I hope this helps.

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.

Yes, you can use a seatbelt to install it if you do not have the Latch system.

I have only used this seat facing the front, so facing the rear would probably take up more leg room in the back seat. Facing front, it's not too bad. However, it will definitely take up half your back seat width-wise.

It depends on how your back seat is built. If the seat-back will tip forward, yes it will install. If your back seat seat-back is in a fixed and un-movable position, then no you cannot. If you can work the belt around the seat-back from the trunk, it may be possible.

I have a Roundabout 55 installed rear-facing with a seatbelt behind the passenger seat in my 1998 Honda Civic. It is tethered to the slider of the passenger seat. It doesn't seem to take up any more room than our Chicco Keyfit 30 did. The passenger seat is pretty far forward, but not all the way forward. This seat is super tight and secure!

This has LATCH straps as well as an anchor strap for forward-facing. Note you should not use LATCH and seat belt together. Anchor can be used with either as long as the seat is facing forward.
