Can you rear face this carseat in the middle in the back with just a lap belt?

Hi Megan, Thank you for your enquiry, Yes you can install this in the middle with a lapbelt rearfacing, this must also have a tether used.   Regarding suitability for your vehicle, sadly not all car seats fit all vehicles. There are many factors that affect a child restraint fitting a vehicle such as length of seat belt, position of seat belt buckle on a long stem, contours of vehicle seat, height of passenger and space allowed behind the seat for rear facing and size of child car seat may just be too big for the vehicle. Due to this we always recommend contacting your nearest store.
