Is a base necessary for an infant car seat?
Typically, you don’t need the base to properly use your car seat — it’s just a convenience. To install without the base, just thread the seat belt through the grooves on the side of the seat and tighten in the same manner as above. It should look something like this (for American car seats).
Are infant car seats safer with the base?
The base is designed to avoid consumer misuse by reducing the number of times the seat must be anchored to your vehicle. Clearly it’s preferred to use your infant car seat with the base, but if you’re traveling with baby, it’s much safer to use your seat without the base than to not use a car seat at all.
Can you buy additional bases for car seats?
You can buy extra bases. If your little one will be a regular rider in more than one vehicle (your partner’s car, or a caregiver’s or grandparent’s car), you can buy additional bases — which is much less expensive than having to buy a whole extra car seat.
Do you use a seatbelt with a car seat base?
Every position in the car has a seat belt, but not every position (usually) has the lower anchors. If the car seat is going to be installed in the center seat, for example, this will almost always require using the seat belt.
