Seatbelt plus latch on infant seat?

[Nedra]

Can you install an infant base with latch and then use the baseless install belt path to secure the carrier with the seatbelt?

Never occurred to me before but then I stumbled upon this picture from the cybex booth at the ABC expo. (Pic is the third one on the page.)

I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like in this photo. Just wondering if it would be legit to use both as long as it's not the same belt path and if there would be an advantage.

I think that's just a Euro belt path routing without a base? Hard to tell, but now I'm curious. The caption says something about Euro belt path to use without the base.

The base is definitely there, but that's not how you'd install it in the car. I'm sure they just did that to demo the European belt path. To install with the base, you just install the base (with seatbelt or LATCH), then click the seat in. The European routing is only used when the seat is installed without the base.

Okay. That makes sense that it would have just been to demonstrate. I know anxious parents can install the Nuna Pipa with both latch and seatbelt because they use a rigid latch system so that you don't have to worry about the two belts (latch and seat belt) interfering with one another. Since the baseless install belt path and the base belt path are different, I thought maybe that could work on any infant seat -- if a parent felt more secure that way and didn't mind the extra step.
