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.

Laura, you can NEVER install any car seat using both the seat belt and latch system. You must use one or the other. Both are equally safe as long as you get a proper installation. We have had seats that just don't install well in our car using latch, but we can get a great secure install with the seat belt. Install with each and see which one gets the best recline for your kid and make sure there is an inch or less of movement at the belt path.

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!

Works great with our 1999 Honda CRV! The purpose of the LATCH to secure the seat to the vehicle when the child is not riding along... it's not mandatory for a proper install, or to keep you child secured. There is a model just like this one, but without the LATCH. It is the Parkway SG (without the L). It is great and less expensive. Personally I went with the SGL for two reasons. 1)We have the latch available if we ever find ourselves in a car with a LATCH system. 2)The color we wanted only came in the SGL, and not the SG (1st world problems, right?) ;)

It is very easy to instal but I prefer to use it with the latch system over the seatbelt. My daughter loves it and sits in the very back of my van and if I use the seat belt is seems to move just a little.

Yes, you can install with seat belts instead of the latches. I don't think they would be as safe, not because of these seats, I just don't think any seat is as safe without using the latches.

This is not a rack. It is a great strap system that works with existing roof rack. If your van has a rack it should work despite having only one door.

It is compatible with a lap belt. The user guide will provide specific instruction on how to install using the lap belt only.

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.

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!

Modern booster seats *cannot* be used without a shoulder belt. It increases the range of motion of the child's body in an accident as well as the risk of ejection and 'seat belt syndrome'. The seat should either be installed in a vehicle position with a shoulder belt, the vehicle should be retrofitted with a center shoulder belt by the dealership, or an extended harnessing seat (such as the Britax Regent or Sunshine Kids Radian 80) should be used.

I would think theoretically you could because the latch system is in the back of the seat, and the click tight runs across the front using the belt. It would just be a redundancy. The click tight is so easy to use, you might not want to mess with the latch system- that was the idea when they designed it. It lives up to the ease of use they advertise!

Not on this model. There is the same seat that had latch but it's a different model name.

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

I bought mine for a 2009 chevy truck it fit ok but i couldn't use the middle seat belt there was no slot made for the middle seat belt.

Stephanie that is false. You have to check your car manual for if it allows latching in the middle seat. If not seat belt install only. LATCH is all depending on if the actual car make/model allow it. Also new laws do not allow latching of a combined weight of car seat and child over 65 pounds.

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.Thanksautopartstoys
