I have an older car that doesn't have the latch system. Can you also fix this with just a seat belt?

I can't answer since I had to return mine since it didn't fit the seat I have

You are supposed to have a seatbelt lock (I'm not sure of the technical name but it kind of looks like an H with hooks on the insides) for vehicles without the latch system. When we bought the original car seat it had one but when we bought this to have an extra base, it did not come with it. Luckily a friend had one and they didn't need it lock.

Yes you can. If your seat belt isn't long enough you should be able to remove the screws holding the latches for a new car and put seat belt thru it and buckle in then screw piece back in. It would be a more permanent attachment. Just make sure you pull the seat belt all the way out so it doesn't have any play in it.

The belt hooks only work with the newest of vehicles. I have a 2007...hooks don't work with my Hyundia either. No worries though. Slide the straps through the thin slits in the back od the base. Just above and in the center of where those special clips are. Pull hard to be sure they are very tight and you are all set. The care seat will snap in and out and you never have to remove the strap unless you choose to. I really like this system.

We don't use the latch, we just use the sit belt. We sit our son, then buckled up using the sit belt.

I would think so. I installed these in a 1999 Tahoe, which had never had a back seat or seat belts. (Police version). I attached the anchors of the belts with the bolts for the seats, and there is plenty of slack. I do not know if it will buckle to the belt you have in the car, but its a set, and you can replace both strap ad buckle and have a working seat belt. This appears to be a quality item, and I am happy with it.

Hi. Installing the car seat with the only the seatbelt is not safe. Use the hooks behind the seat cushion to attach the car seat. If the car seat is still wobbly place your entire weight on the seat and then attach the latch. Finally, with the car seat installed head over to your local fire department and let them inspect it also. Good luck and have a safe ride.

I would think theoretically you could because the latch system is in the back of the seat, and the click tight runs across the front using the belt. It would just be a redundancy. The click tight is so easy to use, you might not want to mess with the latch system- that was the idea when they designed it. It lives up to the ease of use they advertise!

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.

No; The lock only keeps the center latch from being opened without the key. There is an aftermarket set of hood side latches that many say cures flutter.

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.

my car has a anchor on top of back seat to hook top latch of car seat to. I than hook my middle seat belt through the back of seat than latch

There is no latch system. When your child isn't in the seat, you can still use the seat belt to "buckle" the seat in so it doesn't become a projectile if you're in an accident.

Doesn't have to be installed with LATCH. It is a bit more difficult to install 3 across with seatbelts but do able. I mean as long as you don't mind scraped up hands :) Diono makes me easier to do this than most because you can access the belt path via a Velcro path on each side of the seat. Any other seat you would need to remove the cover to access the belt path then try putting cover back on after its installed.

No, you don't have to use the latch system. I have all 3 installed in the 3rd row seat of my surburban using seat belts. They all fit but getting the 3rd buckled took a little effort but it was doable.

It has the ability to use the seatbelts, if you have an older car that doesn't have connecting brackets installed.

The car seat comes with the latch system I don't use it in my car I use the large seat belt.

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

The LATCH system uses latches on the car seat instead of using the vehicle seatbelts. There should be anchors in the car, basically u shaped metal rings for the latches to snap on to. The anchors are near where the seatbelt receiving buckle comes out of the crease of the seat back and seat. Check your vehicle owners guide to see if your car has the LATCH system. A 2006 Honda should. My 2007 Accord does....
