Will this seat install in my 1997 Astro Van? It is not set up for the latch system, I will on only have the shoulder/lap belt to use.?

Yup, very simple, I've used both methods. There is a hole next to where the kids thigh would rest on the seat and you can pull the seat belt or latch system belt straight up and away from the buckle to tighten it down instead of out and to the side as you have to do on most seats. I love the design of this car seat. Feels much more secure in any system.

I am not particularly familiar with the van, but I can tell you it works great with the shoulder/lap belt. That's what I use in our van, even though it is latch system-capable, because that is what I am the most comfortable installing. Works great.

yes it will. we don't use the seat belt but from reading the instructions, install seems pretty easy

Yes it will work ....there is a space at the bottom under the baby car seat where the shoulder lap belt can run thru. Thsts what I use as well.

Dear Sirs, Thank you for your question, please call our customer service dept at 561-747-3434, we need to get further details. Yes this will fit, but there are lots of versions of this van. Some have the standard wedge mount some use the twist off 50-FODGBRKT. Some have sensors around the mirror that may make it difficult to put a different one on. Thanks autopartstoys

Stephanie that is false. You have to check your car manual for if it allows latching in the middle seat. If not seat belt install only. LATCH is all depending on if the actual car make/model allow it. Also new laws do not allow latching of a combined weight of car seat and child over 65 pounds.

The LATCH system is the way it straps in to your car. Your car will have metal loops in the back part of the seat. The car seat has straps with a metal clip at the end. You snap the clip to the loops and then tighten the straps so it fits snuggly. I hope this helps!

Modern booster seats *cannot* be used without a shoulder belt. It increases the range of motion of the child's body in an accident as well as the risk of ejection and 'seat belt syndrome'. The seat should either be installed in a vehicle position with a shoulder belt, the vehicle should be retrofitted with a center shoulder belt by the dealership, or an extended harnessing seat (such as the Britax Regent or Sunshine Kids Radian 80) should be used.

I have an older vehicle without Latch as well the seat seems very secure using the installation described in the manual http://www.britaxusa.com/uploads/products/user-guides/122.pdf here are the install videos. http://www.britaxusa.com/car-seats/frontier-90/videos The seat is very solid and heavy. My five year old loves this car seat.

That depends on the vehicle. In my 2014 vehicle the LATCH system is only on the seats near the doors. However, I am able to use the seat in the middle position by pushing the latches (on the seat) between the two car seat cushions. It works fine for me there and I'd rather have my child in the middle seat not using the LATCH system then next to one of the doors.

Not on this model. There is the same seat that had latch but it's a different model name.

You can either use the LATCH system or seat belt through the back while in harness mode. At 40 pounds (roughly) you can't use LATCH, and then install with the seat belt.

I'm not sure if it will fit in your vehicle, I installed mine in a 09 enclave and I put between the 2 captains chairs in the second row. I was concerned if it would fit in mine before I bought it. what I would recommend is taking measurements to see if you have the floor space for it and also take into account the armrest. the lids on the console raise up so they may hit the seat arms. ours fold up so we can access the compartments. hope this helps..

I am so sorry I just looked at my email! Yes we have 2 and my husbands truck does not have latch system either. We love the seat! The only draw back is if you plan on moving it between cars....it is heavy.

According to the user manual (which can be found on the Safety 1st website), the vehicle does not have to have a latch system in order to be used. In fact it does not need the latch system to be used with the upright back. HOWEVER, IT DOES REQUIRE "anchors" to use the upright back. These are the features that are located behind the headrest or behind the seat or on the floor behind the seat. See page "31" of the user manual (http://safety1st.djgusa.com/product_instructions/en/4358-4856%20Go%20Booster%20Approved.pdf)

I put mine on a astro van and they fit really good. If your seat has a higher back I think they will fit nice, I don't think you have to worry about the seat because they do stretch, just be concerned about the back. If your back looks like the photo, I don't think you will have any problems. (I love mine and have gotten lots of compliments)

I bought the SGL as my understanding is the SG doesn't have the latch system to keep the seat in place (separate from the car's own safety belt).

No t sure on the Econoline van but my land rover had a flat section between the seats where it fitted perfectly.. You need a flat section of floor the length and width of the console.. if on a slope you could use spacers to level it...

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

Yes! We have a few of these seats for different vehicles. Fits extremely tight with just the lap belt in the middle seat. We just check it monthly & tighten if needed but honestly it's always tight. We all love this seat.
