Can this seat be buckled into a middle seat using just a lap belt?I'll be using the harness but want to know if the lap belt will secure the base well

Yes you can use a lap belt to install the seat using the 5pt harness. Lap belts only just aren't allowed when using it as a booster. :)

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.

If your child meets the requirements for a lap belt, this seat does have the option for using a belt. I'm not sure about a lap belt only, though I do know a shoulder strap belt works.

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.

It stays on once attached and slides along the lap portion of the seatbelt for adjustment purposes but in my opinion, it slides way too easily and doesn't stay put when you attach the shoulder harness to it. I'm always fussing with it while driving, which is not a good thing.

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!

You can attach the strap to your waist. When I do that I tie the straps in a double knot and have no trouble with it. I do not use the strap like a belt as it is too long for me. It does not fall off when tied.

Yes it can be set in the middle seat. For children over about 40 pounds you will want to use the seat belt to strap it in. It fits children 25-120 pounds and tends to fit children of heights to 57 inches, taller than many other seats.

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.

It is a high back that utilizes the VEHICLE lap/shoulder belt. It is not designed for lap belt only. My husband also used nylon tie downs to secure the bottom of the booster to the vehicle seat. He fished them under the padding and it works great.

Yes, we have the leash piece shortened as much as possible and hook it to the shoulder strap, in the back seat the dog can't cross the middle part of the seat that way. you could restrict movement even more by hooking the leash part to the lap belt, if we do this with our dog she has to lie-down and I didn't want to restrict her that much. she weighs about 45 pounds, with a smaller dog I imagine that they would still have the option to sit or lie down if hooked to the lap belt.

I'm not sure what your problem is but, I had no problem. I stretched the seat belt out as far as it would extend and threaded it as directed while still holding the seatbelt out and secured the belt in the lock. Then I let the belt go. It will not be as tight as it should. Put your knee in the seat and pull it tight and the seat should not move much. Of course I also had the top of the seat attached to the car loop. Hope that helps.

I have a 2014 Corolla and I have used it this carseat in it both rear facing and forward facing just fine. It does not work the latch system in the middle seat though. I tried installing it with the seatbelt in the middle and I could not get it stable enough or installed correctly so I ended up just using the latch system on one of the side seats which works great.

There is a single, wide opening in the middle which will accommodate most seat belt buckles. This opening is secured by velcro. The material is pretty tough, I have put a slit in mine to accommodate a seat belt buckle which did not fit within the manufactured opening and it has not torn at all.

the headrest can be moved up with out uninstalling & belts can be adjusted for tightness but if you need to move the straps to a different shoulder level have to be able to get into the back of seat - same as with britax or graco -- all i do is release the safety anchor & undo one belt in less then 5 inutes my strap is adjusted & my seat is back in place

Ummm well, how to describe.... Just secure it to the base, or anything that you can hook it to. The "leg"of the seat. It may end up restricting moving seat forward or back if you need to. But most time I personally don't move my seats much. If you do move it, then you can adjust straps again. Hope this helps?

Yes, installing with a seatbelt is easy, and also very secure. I just followed the manual. There are two "clips" on the side that secures the seatbelt so it does not glide. Also the wide base of this car seat keeps it from moving at all. It only took a few minutes to get the car seat installed, and installed right, following the manual.

You can either use the LATCH system or seat belt through the back while in harness mode. At 40 pounds (roughly) you can't use LATCH, and then install with the seat belt.

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.
