In MA at least, the fire dept helps you out in doing this for free, which I'll likely take advantage of, but I'd also like to know how to do this myself. Never attempted putting one in.
If you want the best, get a Britax. Do you really think one of the safest car seat manufacturers in the world would put a product out there that allowed kids to so easily compromise their safety?

I believe cars that are 2001 or newer come standard with the latch system (not 100% sure though). Much easier to install than using the seatbelt.
