Default why do you think the belt is better than LATCH?

When I put the seat(s) in the belt, I can still move the seat. With LATCH, it's rock solid in place.

Default I guess the fact that I don't trust the metal latch imbeded in the plastic seat

from where I see the latch points it looks like thinner plastic than where the belt goes through the body of the seat. I've got mine tight enough with the belts that they do not move. I'm not saying one is better than the other just what I prefer.

Default the mounting holes are already in the car. the black bars/LATCH are mounted here:

PN:

ZAW 269 004 ($11.25) = left LATCH kit
ZAW 269 005 ($8.10) = right LATCH kit

I have no idea why they'd be priced differently.

8L0 019 233 are the plastic chutes that you don't need; they just pop on/off and help you find the LATCHes. To me, they just add another indentation in the seat and popped off when I pulled the belt tight. If anyone wants them, pay for shipping.

(the other belt in the picture is my harness for the track)

Default LATCH works just like a belt. It's in the same orientation. this is our stage 2 & 3 seat:

Default I was refering more to the latch anchors that are mounted to the seat base

and attach to the latch points. Doesn't really matter, I don't think either is better than the other.
