A. No. The vehicle lap-shoulder belt, or lap belt only, is not a substitute for the child seat harness system. Read and follow the vehicle owner’s manual and child safety seat manufacturer’s instructions to determine if the child seat manufacturer suggests using LATCH as part of their combination harness-booster system, when the child restraint is used as a belt- positioning booster seat. In this mode, the seat belt is not used in place of a child seat harness.
