Does anyone know what the little rings on the side of the seats on the inside are for? Am I hooking the seatbelt wrong?

Those rings are for the cocoon bassinet accessory to attach. Call customer care to help with the seatbelt threading at 800-839-4985. They are fantastic!

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.

Have you looked at the bolt underneath the seat? Make sure that is lined up with grooves and really tight. Hope this helps.

William- I returned this seat but if I remember correctly, it loops "up" & secures around headrest. Try that & see if it works. We couldn't use it, our 3 lb. baby got all twisted even with the harness in use. Good luck!

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.

I always use it only with seat belt. I think it's more secure if you can use the latches with the metal hooks. Maybe the latches is in use when you don't have seat belt in the center of the middle row of seats.

I am sure ours are installed that way. The seat belt goes in the back and then a metal clip that I have locks it. It's a common clip for carseats. I have a Mazda cx9 and I can seat this anywhere

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.

I put the strap in one side of the hook and hooked the other side under the seat. It was a little confusing at first but it worked.

Through a sturdy strap on the back: you thread the seatbelt through a space in the strap. It's very secure and works great!

After you get the back fabric support on, there are two tiny holes in the metal that you're supposed to screw through the fabric and into. I did NOT do this for two reasons: I was worried about tearing the fabric and I wanted to be able to take that back piece off to wash if I needed to. I've used the seats for a year (probably 20x) without the screws.

I didn't use the installation instructions because they didn't work for me. I took the top straps and threaded them under the head rests and then fastened them and the bottom straps are supposed to be threaded around the seats. Didn't work for me so I tried to thread them around the seat belts but they pulled the seat belts too tight so I am still trying to figure out how to fasten them. Tried and tried to fold it back up but I couldn't do it even with the instructions so I just leave the barrier up in my car. It isn't in the way and adds 2 extra storage places. It's worked out very well for me since my dog can't go over it and she is finally staying in the back seat! I didn't use the installation instructions because they didn't work for me.

I do, I pull the seat belt up and through the bottom strap. I have 2 little dogs and 2 seats, one on each side of the back seat and I leave the arm rest down. it is very secure this way for my guys:) the regular harnesses they already had didn't work, I bought new ones specific 2 the car and we love those best, now use for our regular walks too:)

We are using the brackets in the car seat along with the front tether. We tried the seat belts but the seat still felt a little loose. We feel that way about all the seats,not just this one.

Mine are gathering dust in the glove box as well. I searched for awhile and gave up. I figured they might have been an interior upgrade option I didn't have. If you find it please post it lol.

Feed the little elastic straps on the seat cover through the eye hole of the hook, then pull the hook through the center of the elastic strap and tighten. Then hook it onto something sturdy to keep the seat covers from moving around

The Jeep that we received did not have seat belts with it, but our package looked as if it had been run over, so they may have fallen out in shipping. There was nothing in the directions about seat belts. I believe the radio pictured is just for showing items in the cargo area. It had a decal of a radio, but nothing more. Our grand-kids love theirs.
