can the carseat be put in without the latch system using the seat buckle?

Yes. I believe that ALL car seats are required to provide instructions for using seat belts. Also I remember a lot of reviews saying they needed pool noodles or a rolled up towel to get seat in properly but we had no problems.

Yes, there are two slots through which you can lace a seatbelt across the lap of the car seat. The car seat must be facing the rear of the vehicle though.

There is no latch system. When your child isn't in the seat, you can still use the seat belt to "buckle" the seat in so it doesn't become a projectile if you're in an accident.

Yes you can. If your seat belt isn't long enough you should be able to remove the screws holding the latches for a new car and put seat belt thru it and buckle in then screw piece back in. It would be a more permanent attachment. Just make sure you pull the seat belt all the way out so it doesn't have any play in it.

Not really. Seat is sturdy enough to keep in its place without the seat belt when your child isn't in it.

At this time, we use the 5 point harness. Therefore we don't use the seatbelt to hold the carseat in place. The carseat does have hooks that latch into the hooks which are in the seat of our car. The seat is securely in place and we are very happy with it. Hope this helps.

Latch not required. We use seat belts a lot as it gets moved around between vehicles.

You can use the car seat with a seat belt. In this respect it can be used as a high back booster. The back does not detach to make it into a backless booster. Be sure to read the owner's manual for specific information about securing your child into this seat using just a seat belt.

Yes. It can be used with the seatbelt, but does not have the Latch option without the base.

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.

This model uses the seatbelt, not the latch system. Great car seat. Have owned britax for many years and many different models and have always been pleased.

Yes, I just tested it out at store and I don't have Latch either. It's a pain to initially install with the seatbelt, but seems it will stay put much better than our current base for our infant carseat. I tested a Britax as well and it was the same issue, so no difference on that based on brand.

Yes, you don't use the LATCH at all, you just run the seat belt (both shoulder and lap sections) through the locking mechanism under the car seat seat.

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)

the vehicle has to have LATCH. You have to have the side hooks and the hook on the back of your seat to make this carseat work. The type of seatbelt you have does not matter, the seat only connects to the LATCH hooks-there is no other way to install.

Doesn't have to be installed with LATCH. It is a bit more difficult to install 3 across with seatbelts but do able. I mean as long as you don't mind scraped up hands :) Diono makes me easier to do this than most because you can access the belt path via a Velcro path on each side of the seat. Any other seat you would need to remove the cover to access the belt path then try putting cover back on after its installed.

This car seat is equipped with dual auto seat fastener options. You can either use the latch or seat belt. I use both but either can serve individually.
