The only time we went without a base was on a trip to North Carolina. We flew, and we didn't want to drag the base along with us. It turns out the seatbelt installation is not too bad, but it's definitely more of a pain than the snap-in base.

If we go in hubby's truck we just buckle it in. This weekend we are planning in switching to the convertible.

We have a base in each car as well! Hubs does daycare drop-offs and I do pick-ups so we just leave the car seat at daycare.
