Can a car seat be used without a base? My husband and I are going to look at cars this evening and I want to r

    Yes, they can. If you don't have the manual the seat came with, look up the brand on line and probably you can find a manual on the web site. (Ex: If it is a Cosco seat, look up cosco on a search engine)

NO! fit the whole thing then at least you can be sure that the seat will fit. PLEASE make sure that the seat is installed as it should be. It only takes a couple of minutes

Most can - but some can't and I can't remember off the top of my head which seat can't be installed without the base. All Graco infant carriers can be installed without the base. Evenflo Embrace can NOT be installed without base, Evenflo portabout & discovery can. There is another or two that can't be used without the base - you definitely need to check the manual, or download the manual online from the manufacturer's website.

It doesn't take long to swap the base from car to car so be safe and either don't ride or take the time and move the base.
