Anyone forced to use the seat belt to strap in their infant carseat???
I dont have fb or anything other then Mom.Life
We did it on vacation because we didn’t want to bring the base.
@mommyof4plus2 when I first had my daughter we had a really old car. It didn't have any of the latches or anything. We just seatbelted the base in and it worked fine. There should be instructions in the manual on how to do it safely.
I did when we were on vacation. I didn’t want to lug my base across the country.
Well I bought a Town and Country van bc we have our 4th coming... all ours in seats. The two bucket seats have hooks and the bench seat in the back only got one with hooks.... We will have a total of 4 in seats that need hooks. Two toddler seats and two infant seats....
@mommyof4plus2, As long as you follow the instructions in the manual and make sure it’s installed correctly then a seatbelt is perfectly fine to use. The seats are subjected to the same rigorous safety standards for using the belt like they are with the latch/base system.
I have a town and country van. I only use the seatbelt when installing my niece's infant seat.
Since infants are rearfacing you can stick them in the very back. The only bad thing is there is only one tether in the back but you only need that for forward facing seats.
