Must you use the seatbelt or may you also use the latch system (tether to seat)?

For the safety of the child, I use both. The latch system secures the seat from a rear end collision. It will not thrust the child forward.

You can only use seat belt or the latch system to install the car seat when using the seat with the harness. The top tether can be used in both installations but you may not use both the latch and seat belt to install the carseat in the belt path. When using as a booster you may use the latch to secure the seat to the car and use the seat belt to secure the child to the seat.

This has LATCH straps as well as an anchor strap for forward-facing. Note you should not use LATCH and seat belt together. Anchor can be used with either as long as the seat is facing forward.

If both are rear facing it may be possible using the seat belts with no LATCH. Forward facing, though, is not ideal. There is only one set of lower anchors and top tether in the 3rd row of the 2011+ T&C; and they are offset to take up two of the seats. Why they designed it that way I do not know. Installing even just one of them in the back seat properly forward facing unfortunately takes up two seats. It is safer to put the forward facing kids in the second row captain's chairs which both have the tether and lower anchors.

Yes. You can either use the seat belt to hold the car seat in or use the latch system. It's the same with any car seat.

I don't have the latch system in my car so I use the seatbelt and tether anchor. Switching it our isn't too big of a pain but the car seat is kind of heavy and my tether anchor is a little difficult to loosen. You have to remember to pull straight with the fabric or it won't budge (might just be mine though). My scale doesn't have batteries or else I would weigh it for you.

It has the LATCH system as well as can be attached with the use of a seat belt.

I just use a regular harness. I read somewhere that there is a 2nd tether in case you have a 2nd dog sharing the seat.

you can, i don't use the seat latches just the lap belt, but i would be best if you have the latch for behind the seat which is what keeps it from sliding from side to side.

There are Latch hooks on this seat, but they are not for securing the seat in case of accident...they are on fixed length 6'' tethers that are meant only for keeping the seat from flying around the car when the seat is not occupied. The seat is designed to be held securely by the vehicles seat belt restraint system! Yes, I highly recommend this seat, we are completely satisfied with the safety of the seat. You have to be sure to use the shoulder restrain properly and that means fully extending the belt completely out and letting it reel itself back to engage the lock sprocket! Remember to read your vehicles manual for the proper use of your restraint system.

When using this seat with the harness, we recommend using either LATCH or the seat belt. Using both methods could actually create safety concerns. If you are using this seat in booster mode, then you can certainly use the LATCH system as an anchor for the seat when the child is not in the seat.

It has the latch system and can also be used with a seat belt. I will say that for me in our cars it wasn't the easiest to get super tight.

We suggest that you refer to your vehicle manual for their recommendations on placement of child seats in that specific vehicle. You will then use the seatbelt to properly secure the child and seat in the proper position. Again, you will want to refer to your vehicle manual to ensure that you are properly using the seatbelts to properly restrain the child.

It is legal in my state to use only seatbelts, but, I used the hooks down in the seat. Some vehiclex do not have them. This carseat is awesome, btw. Comforyable and heavily padded.

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

No, you don't have to use the latch system. I have all 3 installed in the 3rd row seat of my surburban using seat belts. They all fit but getting the 3rd buckled took a little effort but it was doable.

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.

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