My husband says one of his coworkers has a car seat that clicks directly into the latch system, and "isn't very expensive".
The only one we've been able to find was made by Britax and cost $400! Yikes!
Anyone know what car seat he might have been talking about? Thanks!

I believe all car seats can go into the LATCH. So what exactly are you thinking it does?

Are you talking about a "rigid LATCH"?

QUESTION:
What is the difference between rigid LATCH and flexible LATCH?ANSWER:
"The difference between flexible and rigid LATCH is the manner in which the components are attached to the car seat.Most Britax U.S. child seats feature flexible LATCH (Premium lower LATCH Connectors or ISOFLEX Flexible Lower LATCH Connection System). Britax flexible LATCH components are connected to the seat via webbing (similar to seat belt webbing) and then connected to the seat. Flexible LATCH allows the installation of a car seat in the center of a car (if allowed by the car seat manufacturer and vehicle manufacturer).
In rigid LATCH (aka ISOFIX) the metal connectors are attached directly to the seat. Rigid LATCH can increase the weight of the child seat and not all U.S. made vehicles are compatible with this system. In countries outside of the U.S., however, ISOFIX has become the international standard for all automobile and child safety seat manufacturers.
