Tracy - thanks for sending the link. Unfortunately, the 1991 Civic
and Graco Snagride combination is not listed there.

What I meant is that this:
(1) there are no manual latch locations on the back seat = I cannot
use the latch to mount the car seat
(2) Graco instruction manual says that lap/shoulder belts with
retractors (=1991 Civic) cannot be used to mount the base.

The next logical step would be to look up Operator's Manual but I do
not have one. Accordingly, it was more practicable to ask the
newsgroup readers than to buy the manual.
