Is the latch system a metal snap in or is it straps?

The LATCH system is the way it straps in to your car. Your car will have metal loops in the back part of the seat. The car seat has straps with a metal clip at the end. You snap the clip to the loops and then tighten the straps so it fits snuggly. I hope this helps!

Straps that connect with a metal clicker thing. Sorry if I haven't answered your question. I'm not clear on what you mean.

Its been almost a year since I installed it. If my memory serves me, the latch system is metal. I felt impressed by the strength of design.

There is definitely a latch. It is a heavy chair, but not too bad. I like the fact that you don't feel it will fall over. More important to me than the scraping of the floor. I always lift anyway, and don't drag, if possible.

The straps are padded. They aren't bad! Super easy to convert. They are universal buckles so you don't have to convert anything. The bottom isn't reinforced, but there is a belt that you tighten that makes it pretty hard. I think it's pretty sturdy

It is latch only...Great for collectibles, but not something I would use to secure priceless collectibles.

It is compatible with both. We used latch system with it. Extremely happy with this seat. I highly recommend it!

Its a metal latch that lifts up....when you push it back it drops in a slot to lock! Very sturdy.

Yes it has a sturdy metal tether clip with a really long strap. The mechanism for the strap on both the tether and the LATCH is also the smoothest and easiest to operate out of all car seats I've used.

The latch is adjustable, with the manual you should have no problem learning to adjust it as you 'll need as your child grows, we 're happy with it and have two.

The latch is all metal and very easy to lock or open. We camp and this cooler is the only one that will keep ice for days.

They have latches, but you have to be careful with them. They are flimsy. Otherwise, they are well made.

Mine is snap on. I believe the earlier versions were magnetized. There is "wallet" on one side for credit cards and it is metal.

The latch is on the door. When the door is closed the latches slide down into a slot in the base. The crate that I received 6 months ago came with metal latches. The company is very good about sending you metal latches if you got an older crate.

It is heavy but with the latch system it is easy to install. It is bulky for rear facing once child tall enough that the headrest must be attached. That being said, we love ours. This is our second one. First purchased in 2008 & still in use with our second daughter.

It has two latches to secure it to the seat. I love the seat. Would highly recommend it. When we bought it it was on the consumer reports safety list with top scores. Scored higher than the Britax models even. We've had those ones too and like this seat better

The inside portion is plastic and the outer portion seems to be a silicon blend. I have not had any issues with it however, I have never had the machine turned on for more than fifteen minutes. I just checked the inside of the latch and there appears to be no significant damage out side of normal use.

We have not had any problems the system is to assist in lift and lowering not hold the gates in place while moving. Your factory latches will do that.
