Does this stay on even when the seat belt is unbuckled? Or do you have to take it on/off each time your child is in/out of the car?

Off and on each time. It's not a big deal. I toss it in the nearest cupholder.

It slides on and off the buckle when it is unbuckled. It is such a simple design, but it works perfectly.

It is not permanently attached to the buckle. You can move it from car to car if you want.

It doesn't stay on as in lock on, it just sits loosely on top of the seat buckle. But you don't have to take it on and off, I usually do take it off and put it in the behind the seat pocket so the kids don't move it somewhere else.

It's held in place by the seat belt - so yes, it would come off each time you unbuckle the seat belt. We used it to keep my grandson from unbuckling his car seat (5 point harness type).

My two year old has put it on himself. It just sits on the potty and stays on. He can take it off too.

It stays attached to the lap seat belt strap. When you put the seat belt on, you loop the shoulder seat belt through the CommuteMate and you are done. If you do not want to use it, it can stay on the lap seat belt and does not need to be detached. This is good if another, larger, person also drives your car.

No latch capability is needed. This car seat is only secured by using the seat belt in your car. When your child is NOT in the car seat, it is safest to buckle the car seat in using the seat belt, otherwise it could cause serious harm if you're in an accident because it is not secured by a latch system.

They can do it as well as any other car seat (the unbuckling is easier for the 6 year old than the 3 year olds, since his hands are bigger and more coordinated). We have 4 car seats, 2 of which are the safety first, and the kids are able to buckle/unbuckle themselves about equally in either (we have a rule that each kid gets in the car and does their buckles, but only a grown-up is allowed to un-do them).

At this time, we use the 5 point harness. Therefore we don't use the seatbelt to hold the carseat in place. The carseat does have hooks that latch into the hooks which are in the seat of our car. The seat is securely in place and we are very happy with it. Hope this helps.

Yes it's comfortable but not removable. My 5 year old usually is able to secure the seat belt herself. No complaints so far.

No it does not prevent the seatbelt from retracting. The clip easily slides along the seatbelt.

It does not attached. We put it around the back and through the sides and used it just like a seat belt.

Yes, it fits...no it does not stay on. Pull the cord tightly and the shape of the carseat lets it slip off as child gets in and out.

It just sits on the seat and your child is buckled in with the standard seat belt. I've actually never seen a seat only (no back) booster that latches in.

No, it doesn't. This is one of the reasons we dislike it. No attachment to the car in any way. The only thing that holds it, and your child in place, is the seat belt.

Comes off easily enough, but as it's kept up by a magnet until you need it, it's never in the way. My grandson at age 25 months figured it out and it doesn't require jerking on it. Just reach up to disengaged and lower it in place. It does not lower slowly as the adult seat and lid by itself, but attached with magnet to the lid, it does.

It does stay shut. My son doesn't play with it quite as much anymore....although he just got a car mat so that might change!!!

it closes with velcro i did not have a problem in afixing it to the seatbelt. you can raise it up or down to fit your comfortzone.

It stays on, it's very sturdy. When your kid is done and you lift it back up it can pop out but this has happened only twice in a period of 5 months, and its really easy to put back into place. I love this seat since I have bought it, absolutely no regrets...

No, the seat stays in the car. Their infant seat, the Performance Coup, has the base with removable carrier. It has the hero strap system as well which keeps the straps from twisting.
