No manual available, but from labels and stickers on the seat:
Acceptable installation methods are
Long belt path, lower anchors and tether
Short belt path, lower anchors only
Long belt path, lap/shoulder and tether
Short belt path, lap/shoulder only
Long belt path, lap only belt and tether
Short belt path, lap only belt
Basically, any time you are using the tether, use long belt path, and any time you are not using the tether you use short belt path.
The red things on the front, which some had speculated are for holding the harness open out of the way, are actually shoulder belt guides for long belt path. I know the photo is poor quality, but it says: "Proper vehicle belt routing required. Toddler Car Seat - Use proper belt routing for installation WITH a tether or WITHOUT a tether. Route vehicle shoulder belt through Toddler Shoulder Belt Buide on vehicle buckle side. Booster Car Seat - DO NOT route vehicle shoulder belt through Toddler Shoulder Belt guide."
The harness covers at the shoulder are rubbery on the back. I wonder if they are removable or if they are required.
The tension indicators are cool. On the harness, LATCH strap and top tether. I left one strap too loose and tightened the other so you could see the green bar.
The shoulder belt guide for booster mode doesn't look promising to me, but I don't have experience with this kind of guide. I have a feeling that the belt would get hung up and not retract easily.
Seat semi-converted to backless, so you can get an idea of what it looks like.
Looking at the backless from the back. I'm looking forward to some reviews from real kids, to see if that's comfortable to sit on or not.
The loop of plastic in the center is the storage for tether and LATCH hooks. All three fit. Basic hooks.
Comparison shots:
Eurosport (L) and Maestro (R). Picture is deceiving, they are the same width. The Maestro is widest at the cup holders, the Eurosprt is widest at the arm rests.
Eurosport headrest is up all the way. These two actually puzzled together nicely.
Eurosport (L) and Nautilus. The Nautilus is substantially wider.
Nautilus (L) and Eurosport. Both all the way up.
