Fitting with a child seat on your bike
Panniers put the weight around or between the axles. Child seats put the weight above and - more significantly - behind the rear axle, which destabilises the bike. Get a plumb line to check where the base of the seat is relative to the rear axle.

Take it to where you bought it, if it was a bike shop they can show you how to do it. You want to make sure it is done right because that is a live person you are putting in it and why risk their life. Just like a car seat-make sure it is installed the correct way and the child wears a helmet, along with yourself. Remember, if you fall and hit your head who is going to take care of your baby? Do not put a child over 40 lbs in a baby seat.

The straps that are in the area where you'd thread the seatbelt to install are for LATCH installation if you have LATCH anchors in your car - but you can only use seatbelt OR LATCH to install, never both. The strap at the top, with the same hook, is the top tether.
Instructions for using both are in that copy of the manual - the installation instructions for the Regent vary depending on your child's weight, so read it carefully.
