Will this seat install in my 1997 Astro Van? It is not set up for the latch system, I will on only have the shoulder/lap belt to use.?

Yup, very simple, I've used both methods. There is a hole next to where the kids thigh would rest on the seat and you can pull the seat belt or latch system belt straight up and away from the buckle to tighten it down instead of out and to the side as you have to do on most seats. I love the design of this car seat. Feels much more secure in any system.

I am not particularly familiar with the van, but I can tell you it works great with the shoulder/lap belt. That's what I use in our van, even though it is latch system-capable, because that is what I am the most comfortable installing. Works great.

yes it will. we don't use the seat belt but from reading the instructions, install seems pretty easy

Yes it will work ....there is a space at the bottom under the baby car seat where the shoulder lap belt can run thru. Thsts what I use as well.

My son sits in this seat in my 2011 Tahoe (bucket seat). Other than the shoulder strap guide (which might be fixed by now), I love the seat and it transitioned fine from my last car (Saturn Outlook bench seat) to the Tahoe. Hope this helps!

Not positive, but feel it should work on any seat belt with the release button on top next to the slot. We have a Santa Fe and does work on his transportation vans. Thinking they may be Dodge Caravans, definitely on Fords & Mercedes. Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Agreed with previous reponses--I would feel very secure using this seat in an older vehicle. The back/top tether is only "required" when using the seat with children over 65 lbs. Even with the latch option, I prefer using the seatbelt as it is easy to install/uninstall.

Dear Sirs, Thank you for your question, please call our customer service dept at 561-747-3434, we need to get further details. Yes this will fit, but there are lots of versions of this van. Some have the standard wedge mount some use the twist off 50-FODGBRKT. Some have sensors around the mirror that may make it difficult to put a different one on. Thanks autopartstoys

According to the user manual (which can be found on the Safety 1st website), the vehicle does not have to have a latch system in order to be used. In fact it does not need the latch system to be used with the upright back. HOWEVER, IT DOES REQUIRE "anchors" to use the upright back. These are the features that are located behind the headrest or behind the seat or on the floor behind the seat. See page "31" of the user manual (http://safety1st.djgusa.com/product_instructions/en/4358-4856%20Go%20Booster%20Approved.pdf)

Unsure, put mine on a 3500 Dodge. Was not real happy with the install. Does not look to be wide enough, I think with a little wiggle and a little time, it could be slipped. Went ahead and got the tailgate latch w/lock as well.

Yes! We have a few of these seats for different vehicles. Fits extremely tight with just the lap belt in the middle seat. We just check it monthly & tighten if needed but honestly it's always tight. We all love this seat.

Most all american and foriegn cars use a universal blade in the seat belt I'm sure it will work for your van.

Yes, I have used the LATCH/Isofix system with no problem. It has cut outs to accommodate either this or standard lap/shoulder seat belts.

Morgan be sure the straps that go under the seat have all their hooks mine was missing some and I had to tie them and was very difficult doing it in my Rav4. Otherwise will fit any standard seats but not tied

I use mine on a Dodge Grand Caravan and it fits perfectly. I can open all doors with no problem and I can raise my rear hatch with no problems. I have 6 kids and can put all of our sports bags into the carrier, giving everyone plenty of leg space.

I didn't know if it will fit your van, but it was easy to install. I have had good luck with Amazon's garage check fix feature.

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!

I have a 2006 Chevy silverado the seatbelt & armrest no problem but couldn't get them to fit in the back.

Our vehicle does not have a latch system either; we just put the seatbelt through the seat while applying downward pressure to the seat itself. It installs very easily. We are very pleased - it is really light and simple to take in and out of the car.

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