  "answer": "Britax Willow S: The carrier has an extra rear belt path for installation without its base. Chicco KeyFit 30: For city dwellers using taxis or ride shares the video says the seat needs no base, using the seatbelt hooks on the side. Testers rate the seat a good blend of crash protection, ease of use and vehicle fit, scoring 4 of 5 for ease of use and 5 of 5 for fit using LATCH and using the seat belt, but only 3 of 5 for fit without the base. Cybex Cloud G Pro (Cloud G Pro Comfort Extend): It is certified for aircraft use if used without the base.",
