Question RECARO Performance SPORT Combination Harness to Booster

[Unregistered]

I purchased the Recaro Car Seat for my grandson months ago when I found a fantastic deal on it. Now my daughter says she can't use it in our 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan because there are no latches in the Caravan. What can I do??

Hi there.

She'll install with the seatbelt.

The manual has good instructions for installing with a seatbelt, but here's a review with pictures http://carseatblog.com/24022/recaro-performance-sport-harness-booster-review-performance-indeed/
Fortunately, ALL seats must still be installable with a seatbelt, since they realize not all cars (in fact, almost none before 2002) have LATCH

Even if she did have latch in her car she would most likely need to install with a seat belt eventually due to the weight restriction limits of latch. Also know that latch is not safer then using the seat belt. Latch was designed to be easier but is not necessarily depending on the car.

Welcome to car-seat.org! I'm glad you asked. LATCH vs. seatbelt installation tends to be a pretty common question. You've gotten good advice so far. Just wanted to say hi!

As everyone else wrote, the seat can be safely installed with the vehicle seatbelts.

How old and how big is the child for whom it is intended?
