Can anyone tell me which AOs can be used baseless and which can't? Any easy way to tell?

The true differences come when the seat is different, like the All-in-One vs the AOE. Even then, the seat is still mostly the same, but the base is different.
So then could it be that she had and AOE? Does it have different rules for the bases as to FFing and RFing?
Across all the Alphas/3-in-1s is a 'required for harnessing' base going to be marked this or would you have to have the manual to know?
I guess now I am second guessing my past installs. What if I removed a base that was required? I have never seen anything other than the straight metal rod that you push the tab down to pull out.

Don't worry, don't second guess yourself. If the base is removable, then it was optional, RF or FF, and it was mandatory to take off as a booster. That's how I make it simple for myself :thumbsup: (except the Summit, you can take that base off, but it must not be used off... gotta be an exception to every rule, I guess, lol). I saw the new non-removable bases on the new AOE's and drove myself crazy trying to figure out how to get it off, and you just can't (and the manual says nothing about taking it off, I stood there and read it after the base confused me ).
