I have a safety 1st avenue which is like the uptown. Where do I store the latch? I do not have latch in the middle seat of my car? Thank you

There should be two little "holes" in the shell of the seat (under the cover, I think). Hook the LATCH straps to those.

My Uptown has holes in the shell near the top under the cover for the LATCH hooks. I also clip the top tether hook to one of the LATCH hooks since there is no designated spot to attach it. Here is a picture of what I mean.

Thank you!! I found those holes to connect the latch too. I didnt think I had but one and I thought it was for the tether hook. but now I have all of them attached like you said. Thanks for posting the pics.

Does anyone have any tips for LATCH connector storage with a Britax Marathon? I put a brand-new cover on my DD's MA today, and realized that the new covers must not have storage pockets any longer!

For the Marathon: You thread them back through the belt path, and then tuck them into two slots in the shell of the seat. Right behind where the baby's bottom would be. You need to pull up the cover and foam to get a good look, and you need to fiddle with the length of the strap, but they fit in really well and are totally out of the way.

That sounds really good - thanks! I knew that there must be a better option than having them flailing around on each side!

:yeahthat:

Mine came shipped in those little cubbies & since I do not have LATCH I just left them there! They are perfect for LATCH storage!

Thank you! Mine are always getting in the way and keep falling out of the little pockets in the seat cover. I'm going to go check this out tomorrow. :)
