I am using the seatbelt for the center convertible seat (my 4-YO twin girls sit behind me and in the middle respectively, 9-YO daughter sits on the rear passenger side, no car seat or booster required anymore, so I have easy access to the third row.) The seat belt and upper anchor secure the seat just as firmly as LATCH, although they're certainly more of a pain to set up. As a matter of fact, most car seat manufacturers warn you against using LATCH past a certain weight and use lap-and-shoulder belts instead.
In fairness to Land Rover, I have yet to find a car manufacturer that installs LATCH anchors in the center seat position. My wife has a Ford FLEX which is a huge barge / mommymobile thing with an even larger and wider second row bench than the LR4, no LATCH in the center either. Perhaps it's a safety thing?
