Can you install this seat without the latch system and still use harness?

I am sure ours are installed that way. The seat belt goes in the back and then a metal clip that I have locks it. It's a common clip for carseats. I have a Mazda cx9 and I can seat this anywhere

Putting baby in the ergo can be used without assistance pretty easily, with practice, but I recommend watching the video demonstration from the Ergo website, or YouTube. I found the demo very helpful to mitigate some of the complaints I read from other reviews, like getting the straps loose. The latch that ends up in the middle of your back can be a little tricky until you are more confident about the baby being in the carrier before it's all tightened and secure.

It is MUCH simpler to latch and unlatch than a normal harness car seat. Also, it is not absolutely necessary to use the latch system (I believe I read this in the instructions), because the latch system is just there to keep the booster in place when a child is not sitting in it with the seat belt on.

It has latch but you can use the seat without the latch as well. The latch is not adjustable (cannot tighten them) so it is mainly there to keep the seat from moving around in the car. Hope that helps!

No. You will need to use the lock from your original latch. The OEM lock is very easy to remove then install in this new latch.

Yes, my wife doesn't have a latch or tether system in her Toyota. It works really with the seat belt - better than any other seat we've seen.

Yes, but if your child weighs more than 38lbs the LATCH connectors are not to be used. For children more than 38 lbs, the seat must be installed using the seat belt and the "Clicktight" mechanism.

Yes, I just tested it out at store and I don't have Latch either. It's a pain to initially install with the seatbelt, but seems it will stay put much better than our current base for our infant carseat. I tested a Britax as well and it was the same issue, so no difference on that based on brand.

Yes - I have a 2002 Honda Accord without a latch system. It takes a little more work to install because you have to use the metal clip to make sure the belt stays in place. I have been very happy with it though - it doesn't move at all.

You can if you use the seat belt to install the car seat not sure if the latch system is acessible. It is a great cover and it does have the openings for the seat belts, it is specifically designed for the pilot.

Yes, you don't use the LATCH at all, you just run the seat belt (both shoulder and lap sections) through the locking mechanism under the car seat seat.

No! Not unless you have a way to lock your seat down alone. this is only an insert under the seat it does not connect to anything other than the straps that hold it in place.

Yes!, it installs with your current seat with longer bolts, just remove the existing seat, place this seat riser with your current seat using the two longer bolts (supplied) and you are done. When finished just remove the riser, use your old bolts and you are back to the original configuration.

Are you talking about a sports car with no latch system? A 70's classic car? Either way, no. You MUST have a latch and be able to tie over the seat back because this chair is a SOFT back. It collapses without your car's seat back to hold it in place...and also for the latch belt to go over and tether safely. That is key!! I think the pictures online give the impression that it sits upright without being installed like a "typical" seat and it does NOT. Hope that helps you!

It's not as easy as some other seats I've used, with only one tensioner, and simple spring latches. It's definitely more difficult to remove, because there is no easy way to release the tension in the latch harness once it's snugged down.

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, it is called LATCH system here in the US. You do not need to use the seat belt to install the seat securely.
