Some convertibles. The VW Beetle convertible for one.
My parent's 2000 Montana has top tethers but not lower anchors (so, opposite of what you're asking) - I do not use the "system" together since I have to do a seatbelt install but I use the top tether.
I wasn't clear. The tech on the other thread said if you use lower anchors, you must use the top tether as well as a system. Here in Canada we had top tethers way before we had lower anchors. My 1989 vehicle had a top tether.
If a FF isofix carseat has no top tether, it usually has a support leg instead, which is an anti-rotation device, too. There are a few exceptions that have neither, though.Very few top tethers in Europe, the Isofix on their carseats is generally rigid and doesn't require it (would someone correct me if I'm wrong, please?)
I think maybe you're talking about me? I meant forward facing.

We were taught in class that FFing you had to use top anchor if you used the lower ones and that it was a system; that lower anchors did not exist without top tether anchors. However, top tethers can be used with a seat belt.
