With the latch system is it able to attach at the back of the headrest or is it only at the base?? I drive a 2012 Honda Civic and a 2007 Toyota Highlander.

It latches at the bottom, one latch on each side. It couldn't latch on the top because the back is removable.

It does not have a top tether. The seat is primarily for use with a seat belt installation. The back provides the child with side impact protection but it can be removed as used as a base only seat. The purpose of the latch on this seat is to hold the seat in a secure position when the seat is not in use. The latch prevents it from being a projectile in the car when the child is not in it.

yes, the straps that are made to go around the headrests can also go around the top corners of the seat and attach around the back. may not stay up as well as they would around the headrests, but worth a try.

My car does NOT have a head rest, but the back seat does flip down. The straps where adjustable enough so I could attach it around the entire seat. I have to use a blanket to get it at the right angle, but it does the job.

there are actually two straps that go around the headrest. The smaller one supports the weight of the back (grey "backboard" in the picture) and the second, longer one, goes from the front of the seat to the headrest. This second one is extra long and adjustable. Both simple loop over the headrest. I feel the carseat is very stable-I've never had it slip around or move. This speaks well for the quality, because my puppy is very active in the car:)

No. For this model, you raise the headrest a bit, pull the clips through, draw the cover over the headrest and insert the buckles into the clips. Then you just adjust the covered headrest into whatever comfortable position you want it. It's installing the seat loops between the seat & back that's problematic, if your vehicle has a non-removable covering over that space (as mine does).

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

answering this for future reference. Actually this is one of the few seats that allows latch borrowing - if the car allows it as well. I know some VW do.

Yes, i've found that this stays in place very well, in my SUV, just attached at the top which is the straps that wrap around the headrests. However, on the bottom, I found something below the driver's seat to attach it but on the passenger side, there just wasn't anything. I've done a couple of things there. One is using a bungie cord to hook onto the metal seat crossbar, underneath. Another is that I've attached an extension onto the lower strap and found a place to connect, wrapping around a part of the seat that I couldn't reach with the strap length on the bottom of the barrier. I hope that helps. Yes, i've found that this stays in place very well, in my SUV, just attached at the top which is the straps that wrap around the headrests.

Don't know how the back seats are in your vehicle but the straps have to go around the back of the seat and the headrest to be secure.

yes, you use one of the straps that would otherwise go around the headrest and connect it to the strap attached to the side of the backrest part of the cover. there should be a diagram in the instructions.

There's two strapes both end up behind headrest. They are both adjustable. I got instruction to but I'm a duh when it comes to them.

It comes with a base if that's what you're asking. It connects via the latch system or seatbelt and then the base stays in the car. I love this system. Very simple and very secure.

The "base" is part of the seat. I have latch system in my car. You can use a seat belt if your car doesn't have latch. I love this seat!!

If you have the system in your Honda there should be some small plastic buttons on the lower edge of the upright portion of your back seat. Those buttons mark where you can reach between the cushions and feel the small bracket where the latch attaches. My CRV (11) has enough to position the seat in all three positions (L/C/R), but my Civic only allows for the seat to be behind one of the front seats.

The belt hooks only work with the newest of vehicles. I have a 2007...hooks don't work with my Hyundia either. No worries though. Slide the straps through the thin slits in the back od the base. Just above and in the center of where those special clips are. Pull hard to be sure they are very tight and you are all set. The care seat will snap in and out and you never have to remove the strap unless you choose to. I really like this system.

You do not "have" to latch it. That is an option, to keep it from moving around in the vehicle, especially in case of a crash. We don't have latches either and it works fine in our vehicle.

It is very simple. U place the black straps around the headrest. The shorter one is the back part & the longer one is the front but goes around as well. The pic may help.
