My vehicle is equipped with the Universal Anchor System (UAS), but the car seat I have does not have the UAS attachments. Do I have to buy a new car seat?
No, you do not have to replace the car seat, as the seat belt can still be used to install the car seat. The UAS is just an alternative and sometimes an easier way to install the car seat. Some seatbelt designs are not compatible with certain car seats. If you can safely install your car seat with the seatbelt, there is no need to use the UAS. Check with your local health unit if you are not sure about the correct installation.
