There is no latch. Can anyone tell me how the seat maintains its position when the kid is not riding? Also, is it considered three-pint harness?

It uses the shoulder restraint only to harness the child. I am able to pull the belt snuggly and he is secure. When he is not in the seat, I buckle the belt so it stays in place. I do not know if this is considered to be a 3-point restraint.

Latch system is in the back of the seat. I don't believe it can be rear facing. Manual doesn't mention it. Since minimum weight is 20 pounds and 27 inches, it's for toddlers who would not be rear facing.

I have an older vehicle without Latch as well the seat seems very secure using the installation described in the manual http://www.britaxusa.com/uploads/products/user-guides/122.pdf here are the install videos. http://www.britaxusa.com/car-seats/frontier-90/videos The seat is very solid and heavy. My five year old loves this car seat.

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!

Hello!the seat is very comfortable for our child, it does pop out, but that is the way it is designed, we hadn't had any accidental pops at all, we love it. Hope this is helpful.

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.

We used it from the beginning in the laid-back position with the seat belt fully fastened. Our daughter was about 10#, aprox 22" when we used it without the car seat. It worked great for napping in. When your child can sit up on their own, you no longer need the car seat. The 5 point harness seat belt & reclining back, makes it up to you & your comfort level. The snapping in feature of the car seat is for convenience not necessity. Hope this helps, we Loved the set & so do the second owners

I also use this seat cover for a youth booster but mine does not have the latch system it's the kind that uses the cars seat beat. My son is 8 years old. The seat protector does not have a slot to put the latch through. I do believe it will block the latch interface.

You don't have to use latch system. If you don't it will be like using a regular booster without the latch. The britax SG is this seat without the latch. It's a bit less expensive. If you aren't going to use it, there's no reason to pay extra for it.

no latching system. It's booster so the seat belt attaches the seat to car.

It's like a harness so the child is not actually sitting in it. However, it "catches" the baby if s/he is getting tired and does not want to stand anymore. I hope this helps. Our nephew is a very early walker (first steps at 9 month!) so we bought this walker to boost his confidence, even though his legs were already very strong. He started zipping around in just a few minutes. In a few weeks, he was walking completely on his own, w/out a walker. However, he still likes the walker because it's like "driving" a car -- complete with looking over his shoulder while holding the wheel with one hand; just like Daddy! :)

I bought it to use with my Cosco Comfy Carry Elite. It does not lock into place, like it does on the base in the car. I have to use the straps. Somewhere in the product detail information I saw a list of the different seats and how they work with it. Mine specifically said it does not latch. Check the info for yours and see what it says. If it doesn't say, you can assume it needs the straps.One thing you might want to know is that the dual front wheels swivel freely and make it hard to steer. Also, anything you put in the basket underneath you cannot get to without lifting the car seat off. It still is useful to me, I just have to live with the limitations.

You don't have to use the latch, it's just convenient for keeping it in place and not having to buckle the seat belt into it every time it's not occupied by a child. It's a nice booster with convenient cup holders. The only feature I would've liked is arm rests that fold up and down to make buckling more convenient.

Where the singl strap comes out on the lower front of the seat. There is a tab in the hole you push down on while pulling on the straps at the top, or over the child's chest. Make sure when you release the tab the straps secure in place. Good Luck

It does not have a latch to anchor. There is another backless car seat from this brand that does provide the latch. The only thing this seat connects to is the seat belt, making the seatbelt the correct height for the child. The seatbelt is what keeps this car seat in place.

Yes, it is a 3-point harness so goes on either side of the hips and between the legs. --no over-the-shoulder straps like some others do, but it still keeps them in place as long as baby is strong enough to sit up on their own.

This particular seat just sits in the car. It doesn't hook in. It's basically just like the booster seats with no back that's just the cushion. The seat is well made. You need to have it buckled if your child is not in it as it could be a projectile in a crash unbuckled.
