So, my daughter has JUST hit the 40lb mark. She's riding in a FRXT. Do I switch to a seatbelt install, despite my preference for the tightness of the LATCH install simply because she's 40lbs some of the time, or should I wait until I know that she's 40lbs all the time, kwim? I'm well aware I'm going to have to give up my days of LATCH soon enough, but I don't wanna until I have to! :p Its so nice, tight and easy!

I'd also switch. And you may be surprised how the seat installs with a seat belt. I love installing my Frontier with the seat belt. It took some effort the first install but now I find it easy peasy.

I completely agree! Also, I actually find it feels safer to me because of the way the belt path holds back the whole back of the seat, not just at the latch points (kind of like the difference between lap belt and 3-point),
