The majority of vehicles of not have LATCH in the middle. I believe it has to do with width.
I have never had an issue with my graco base and the middle seat location. I'm like most though, you would think a SAD would be large enough to have LATCH at all points.

Wife just bought a Chicco next fit air zip ridiculously expensive seat. I know I can get it tight in her car with latch. Will try it in the truck as it's supposed to have features to make it work better with the seatbelt. Unfortunately, if it works I'll be out another $370. But keeping the little guy safe and comfy is a bigger priority than the money right now.

I hope you guys are using an h-bar. They use to come with all car seats, but now it's seems none of them do since everything but a super duty it seems comes with LATCH. No stores stock h-bars anymore either. A manager at babies-r-us just happen to know that there were a couple stuck in a drawer somewhere and gave me one. Had been there a long time she said. The h-bar will keep the belt tight and the shoulder belt from pulling up on the car seat/base. They are a PITA and I'm sure the reason why everything has the LATCH system.
Edit: I saw this is called a locking clip by some

I am using one of the lock off clips like the H you are showing. He is in an infant seat now, but he will be out of that soon and I need to buy a convertible for my truck. We have a Safety 1st seat for my wifes jeep, but she has latch.
I am looking for a seat that is easy to take in and out and safe for him, maybe something with lock offs built in.
