Does the carrier itself lock onto the vehicle?

Yes. Two locks on rack. (One key for both.) One to secure any bikes on the rack and the other locks the rack in position on car, making it pretty much impossible to get off. I have a Mazda CX5. Works great.

I don't believe that it did. It does have a space for the seatbelt to attach to, but the straps you are seeing are the ones you carry it with. It works great, though and we were very happy with it. It's more lightweight than the plastic crates

NO - and YES, it is SUPPOSED TO BUT DOES NOT. It does lock, as indicated by someone's answer - but that "lock" does not hold. It continues to roll.

The only thing to do is to run the seat belt through the handles if the carrier is facing forward. You could sit the carrier sideways in the back and secure it diagonally with seat beat - going through the handles again.

Mine did not. It had a clip to keep legs to remain locked. And a shoulder strap for carrying.

yes it treads into male section and locks down after carrier is inserted in receiver assembly in the standard hitch pin holes.

A lock can be placed on it, so I believe it is. I have not tried to transport it though.

Yes, but again, it doesn't latch in there tight. It's just a handle to press down on for getting in and out of vehicle.

It has a very handy attached lanyard and is encased in a protective rubber shell which does not need to be removed during use; while I seldom carry it around with me, I have never felt it needed any other carrier. I have not looked into a guarantee.

No, it does not. It fits on the top of the hitch, and I used a large bolt to tighten it down. I hauled my bike for over a 1,000 miles each way last winter and it worked fine. It had a little movement, but not that bad. I think it is a good carrier.

It has a motorized latch that locks after a short time. Unless you have the door set to stay unlocked.

Yes, it has both. The same key locks the rack to the hitch and locks the cables that lock the bikes to the rack. My only complaint about it is that the cables are just one to two inches too short for my bikes and it is a bit of a stretch to lock into the bike frame. I have to release the front tire from the bar a little to make it reach. It reaches the front tire no problem but if your tires are quick release then it is not good to just lock to the tire. Having said that, I love the product.

You can pull the handle half way and it locks in position or all the way and it will lock again. So basically the locks are just so that you can set the handle to the height you prefer. It's a nice carrier, my only complaint is that it was too small for one of my cats.

No there's no lock. Press down firmly to keep it in place. It's made for easy adjustment so that is the reason it moves when you lift from the bottom. If your hitting it from the bottom it will move on you.

Yes.. it has two side latches that lock it into place when closed. Lock the tailgate, and you're completely secure..

It does not lock into place, but I don't find this to be a problem. I would not want it to lock. I am happy with the unit.

Yes it locks very secure. I use it in my fifth wheel. This is a heavy duty unit.
