Does this seat have to be attached to the special mounts in the car or can it be installed with a seatbelt? I need it to be easily removable.

It can be installed with a seat belt. There is a special locking clip provided that secures the seat with a shoulder or lap belt.

It does both! We use the seatbelt (with the easy to attach back harness) because we too need a swift removal.

It has a latch system for the base unit. If need be you can use a seatbelt with the car seat by itself.

It has the latch system for the anchors in newer cars. I think you can also loop a seatbelt through though.

There are ways to secure it. There's Velcro on the bottom and a strap across the back. You could slip a seat belt through the strap or put a seat cover on that the Velcro would stick to. I guess you could hang it from the headrest, but it doesn't seem like that would be sturdy. Overall I've enjoyed this product. Will probably last me 1 year or so.

Yes, a seatbelt install is just as safe! This seat is quite easy to install with the seatbelt, as long as you read the manual.

This seat does not attach to the car. It is meant for children that no longer need a car seat to be raised up so the car's seat belt is at the proper height on their body.

The seat belt just attach to the seat cover. I don't use the belt that comes with it.

The cargo cover doesn't need removable headrests. My wife's Subaru Outback doesn't have removable headrests and the cover fits easily on the headrests. The two outside straps are secured with 1" flat nylon straps that connect with snap fittings (I don't know what they are called, you pinch the connector together and it un-snaps), the middle is fastened with a small (1/8") elastic cord. The outside straps are adjustable so they can be cinched up once snapped together.

It installs with the vehicle belt through the base. Also you can use only the seat belt without the base, but inst the best.

A Camry! It doesn't attach to the car (any car). It's "seat belted" in (and I had a carseat safety technician install it) sorry if this wasn't helpful

I don't have a car seat, but don't see any reason why you wouldn't still be able to use one. The cover has openings to allow access to seat belt buckle, as Kyle stated, and the upper straps are usually placed around the rear headrests (but they can still be moved up or down despite the strap around them), it doesn't obstruct access to the car seat anchors in my Hyundai (or in my previous Honda) LOL, They market the seat cover for pets, but it will equally save your seats from infant created spills ;-)

I doubt you could put it in the back seat. Most back seats are not bolted in and therefore don't have the seat bolt needed to attach the mount. However, you might be able to mount it to the rear bolt of the front seat which might be located in the rear seat area. Bottom line is you just need to find a seat bolt to attach it to.

The harness straps are NOT removable but situated in such a way that they can be easily tucked underneath the seat unobtrusively. Really a minor inconvenience in the big scheme of things as overall this is a fantastic seat! You could cut them off if it really bothered you but that would lower its resale value. My daughter doesnt use the harness anymore so we just tuck underneath into tye hollow area under the seat and nobody is the wiser.

Very good question, not answered in the instructions. I secure the seat by passing the seat belt through the slot in the base of the seat and attaching it as if the seat was passenger. Pull it tight. I secure the dog with a separate 1" strap which has a clip and attaches to collar or harness like a leash. Otherwise, the seat would be danger--fqlse security. Good luck!

Not by itself. You will need a custom bracket to attach the seat, then mount seat belt buckle to the bracket.I installed this seat in a 2001 Jetta, so other vehicles may vary.

These seats are all one piece, so they do not have removable child seats. We have two of these seats and really like them. They are easy to install and the safety harness is very easy to adjust as your child grows, which is a real plus. Our previous seats required a lot of effort and time.

I have not tried installation with the seatbelt. I do not see a clamp to hold the seatbelt. You can see in depth installation instructions and pictures in the owners manual available at Britax website.
