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.

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).

Most all american and foriegn cars use a universal blade in the seat belt I'm sure it will work for your van.

If your vehicle has Latch it should work with your vehicle. I believe all Latch anchors are set a standard distance apart so any seat should fit (as far as latching).

Lap belt you need to adjust before you latch it , but shoulder belts will easily tighten by single loose strap being pulled down . have fun , but be safe . cz

There are two different kinds of seat belts, you can google what size your has or just measure it and buy the appropriate size. I would sell you my three if you want them since they don't fit in my new van. notquiteperfect@gmail.com.

Yes. I drive a 1996 Suburban and use the seat belt because that old a model doesn't have the LATCH system. The belt threads through the back of the car seat and holds very well. (I put me knee in the seat and pull the belt) This is also a fairly light weight item so it is good for travel.

You don't have to use latch system. If you don't it will be like using a regular booster without the latch. The britax SG is this seat without the latch. It's a bit less expensive. If you aren't going to use it, there's no reason to pay extra for it.

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 don't know. I have an astro van. It should tell you if it will fit your vehicle on the information page.

I'm not sure about rv installation. The latch is magnetic.... It seems too big for an rv bathroom

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)

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...

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.

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!

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

Yes you can use a lap belt to install the seat using the 5pt harness. Lap belts only just aren't allowed when using it as a booster. :)
