1. There is only one booster seat on the market that can be used with just a lap belt...all others either need a three point belt or a tether strap.
That's incorrect. Sorry. The TOP Rated booster seat which is a convertible is the Britax Boulevard can be mounted with a lap belt.

Get the manual and check it out if you like. It does also give you the OPTION to use a tether strap, but it is not required. The Britax's are in fact the highest rated across the board, and the safest in just about every rating you will find. All of them (that I am aware of) can be mounted with only a lap belt.

Our was installed by a certified installer with only a lap belt, and non-tether. It is still rear facing (child is only 7 months).

There is no one that is a know it all on this subject - so please - stop and try not to sound like an authoritarian before you post. A lot of you are really sounding pretty goofy, and this board isn't that kind of place usually.
