There is no latch. Can anyone tell me how the seat maintains its position when the kid is not riding? Also, is it considered three-pint harness?

It uses the shoulder restraint only to harness the child. I am able to pull the belt snuggly and he is secure. When he is not in the seat, I buckle the belt so it stays in place. I do not know if this is considered to be a 3-point restraint.

This seat is used with the seatbelt to secure the child. The LATCH is provided only to secure the seat to the vehicle when the child is not riding along.

Yes! In fact, we didn't use the latch system(car didn't have one) just the seat belt and the car seat did excellent in our rollover accident! Our son is now big enough to use this seat just as a booster and the seat belt works well that way as well. This seat has been a great investment for our family.

it can use latch or seatbelt. I get a better install with the seatbelt. I also have 3 across and use seatbelt install for them all otherwise they would not fit.

The base installs perfectly without latch system, we use it both ways in a few different family vehicles. Great carseat!!

One of the nicer models has a latch system. The one we purchased did not. It really doesn't impact our use at all. Britax says the latch system in the nicer one is only there to prevent the seat, if empty, from flying around during an accident. If the kid is in it and buckled, it won't move. Plus the buckle threads through the seat even when it is empty, which might prevent it moving anyway. We've loved it and highly recommend it.

Yes, this car seat has LATCH. I've used this seat for almost 2 year and have been pretty happy. I like that it automatically adjusts in the sholders so I can put either of my boys in any seat and they are not tied to a specific side.

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.

You do not "have" to latch it. That is an option, to keep it from moving around in the vehicle, especially in case of a crash. We don't have latches either and it works fine in our vehicle.

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 doesn't snap on, but it has a lip that goes down so it doesn't slid off. My son loves it, he feels safe and secure when using this seat. He is high energy and we have never had a problem with the seat being unstable.

There is latches in the back of the seat. You have to push them in at the same time to release the top from the bottom piece.

Yes this has a latch system. It is not one of the easier ones to hook and adjust, but it works well. (I think the Britax, where you adjust each side individually, is easier). You hook both sides, but only adjust on one. It has been a very good seat and my son is comfy in it.

Where the singl strap comes out on the lower front of the seat. There is a tab in the hole you push down on while pulling on the straps at the top, or over the child's chest. Make sure when you release the tab the straps secure in place. Good Luck

It does not have a seatbelt. However the door latches pretty tightly. My 18 month old can't open it without help. The "window" area itself is a little small too. She has tried to climb out of the window but after realizing it was a little to difficult she quickly gave up and decided the door was a better option. Hope that helps.

It does not need latch. It has slots for seat-belts. I have it both ways in my van. One car-seat is latched in, the other is seat-belt. But, I feel more confident with the latched one though.

The toddler seat can be taken off to be cleaned or leave on. It doesn't pop off in use. It seems to snap offMy grandson who is 3 just loves it.
