Does anyone have pictures of the Nautilus installed in a hyundai elantra hatchback?
SIL got the seat (:thumbsup:) but is having a hard time getting a tight install.

Is LATCH easy with that seat/car combination? Tether info?
I need all the advice I can get to send her!

I don't remember! I installed DD's marathon in there a few weeks ago with no problem......

Anyone have experience with LATCH in there? (with any car seat?)

The only seat I've had a problem installing in my hyundai elantra was the radian. I could get it in rfing center, but not outboard, no matter what I tried.

I have gotten in my car quite easily- marathon, husky, safeguard, scenera, EFTA, SS1, parkway, FP safe embrace, graco cargo.

My car is an 05 sedan and I have to twist the buckle stalk up to 3 times for most installs, IIRC. Latch is pretty easily accessible.

This is an 05 too. I just realized that DN is over the weight limit for LATCH anyway so that doesn't matter.
I'll let her know about possible needing to twist the buckle stalk.....

Hyundai Latch defers to the carseat manufacturer. I am guessing Graco allows up to 48 pounds? (Just something to remember.)

Thanks! There was nothing in the LATCH manual so I thought it was automatically 40 lbs.
He's already 45 lbs so there's no point since they'd have to keep a real close eye on his weight and switch soon.
