Question 3rd row center-lap belt only '03 Honda Odyssey question

I have a britax frontier that I want to install in the 3rd row, center position.
The position has a funky restraint system. There is a lap belt. Then the shoulder restraint comes out of the ceiling and there's a weird latch that attaches the 2 straps together to form a normal looking 3 point shoulder restraint.

Can I install the frontier by using just the lap portion of the belt (leaving the shoulder portion in the ceiling)? I would use the head tether of course. Which the anchor is in the center in the storage area.

What does your vehicle manual say about installing child restraints in this seating position?

ETA: page 37 of your owner's manual says to use just the lap portion (leave the shoulder belt in the ceiling). It looks like it's then a lap-only belt with a tail that you pull to tighten.

Yep.

I find it hard to tighten, and recommend taking off the plastic thing that holds down the tail and stops you getting a good grip. :) (It's not a functional part of the buckle. Just be sure not to cut the belt when you take it off.)
