  "title": "Using an infant car seat without its base",
  "question": "Can an infant car seat be installed in a vehicle without its base?",
  "answer": "The checked facts do not state whether an infant car seat can be installed without its base. The only statement on a base being required is for a convertible seat, not an infant seat. Chicco Fit360 Rotating Convertible Car Seat Base: Both the car seat and the base are required to secure a child in a vehicle. Infant bases are described as made for specific infant seats. Chicco KeyFit Max Infant Car Seat Base: The base accepts all Chicco KeyFit, KeyFit 30, KeyFit 35, and KeyFit Max infant car seats with a click-in design. Orbit Baby G5 Car Seat Base: The maker says the base is compatible with the Orbit Baby Infant Car Seat and Toddler Car Seat.",
