The design of the base and seat must be taken into consideration. Some car seats come with bases that lock into the vehicle buckles for seat belts. Some have steel-reinforced connectors for LATCH that flip out of the sides of the base once properly joined. These were convenient for parents, particularly in the case of vehicles with only front-facing seatbelts.
