Do people use the seat buckle when using it?

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.

I never did, but I suppose it depends on the baby. If you have a more active baby, then you probably would want to. It is quite deep, too, so that also helps keep baby where he/she is supposed to be.

I used the buckle once or twice. Approximately 99% of the time my daughter was swaddled and not buckled in. Once she tried sitting up in the rock and play we retired it.

Depends on the age of the child I would guess. Ours is used by a newborn so no. But once she is more mobile then maybe

Personally, I do not choose to use it. I know my baby isnt going to jump out of the rocker, I feel safe just placing her in it. Plus I can pick her up quickly, I do not need to unbuckle anything.

Yes. Hammock zips in the mid section of the upper fold that goes to front seat headrest, unhook the seat clip n unzip n someone can sit in the back. There is also a zip so seat belt can be buckled!!

Yes!! Several times my daughter unbuckled herself without me knowing. I would not buy this seat again.

I use the system daily in taxis in Singapore, I do not use the teather just the seatbelt. I have also used it in Thailand. I have not had any issues with it. It is very convenient and portable.

Yes you can use your seat belt instead of the latch. It's actually really easy lock system compared to those metal locks that you put on the seat belt.

There is a picture on the seat advising not to use a lap belt. The harness is removable though.

Yeah. I bought this and it works really well. I just use the middle seat belt and put It around the front of it.

To keep your pet in place, have you used a harness with seat belt attachment?

No I've never had a problem with the buckle. Had mine for about 3+ years and this year purchased a 2nd one and still no issues. I would contact Diono customer service.

Yes, that is what we do, use just the waist strap. The seat is deep enough that we don't really need it right now for this granbaby but we used it all the time for the other one who was a climber.

The seatbelt will hold seat but with out back anchor it might twist sideways. Seatbelt most be pulled tight.

The tether is not required when using the seatbelt. It is fairly secure without the tether.

Your dog is as safe as you are in your seatbelt.I feel my dog is safe when buckled in it.

I don't. Just hang top strap over headrest and the bottom ones just buckle in the back of the seat. There's a short leash inside to hold the dog in place if that's what you need to know.

If you are asking about the buckles mid seat, the answer is no. There is a velcro tab at either end that allows you to slip the hammock behind the far right and left hand shoulder belt. But nothing mid seat. For my dogs this is a big plus as they shed a lot and mid seat openings would allow the hair to get all over the dark seat fabric.

I always use it only with seat belt. I think it's more secure if you can use the latches with the metal hooks. Maybe the latches is in use when you don't have seat belt in the center of the middle row of seats.

I've heard of people using them with no issues. I personally use the rally harness.
