How do you store the LATCH straps on a Britax seat?

Holly · Jun 8, 2010

I know where the LATCH storage spots are in the seat shell, but I can't figure out how to put them there without them interefering with the hip strap on the right side of the seat.
Since the LATCH is attached to the seat on one side, if I put the LATCH strap in through the RF belt path to route it to the back of the seat to store it, the strap that hooks the LATCH to the seat gets in the way of the hip strap on that side. Am I missing something?

This is a RA50 by the way. I have a FPSVD and I've never figured out the LATCH storage with that either, so I have the LATCH going under the front of the seat and hook the hooks to each other, but the Britax LATCH hooks are different and can't hook together.

I believe it's under the cover, at the back of the seat area. You just slide the connectors into the shell. At least that's how I have it stored on mine.

If it's anything like the Boulevard, route it through the FF belt path, behind the hip straps, before tucking it into storage spaces.

I think you mean the rfing beltpath. You just have to mess around with it until you get it inside the hip straps. You can also just get a large paper clip and hooks the LATCH connectors to both ends in front of or behind the seat.

It works well if you fold them over themselves. I can take pics later and post tomorrow probably, as my dc is in the house.

The latch connectors themselves fit into little pockets under the cover on the side of the car seat and the straps themselves I just let them dangle down on the side of the seat.

That's the older model Marathons, I loved those pockets! They haven't made them for awhile on those seats, and never did have them on the Roundabout or Roundabout 50 which have no LATCH bars. The cavernous crumb catchers under the cover at the back of the seat pan are where LATCHes fit now :thumbsup:

Wow! I had no idea they discontinued the cool pockets on the covers. Weird.

Well that just shows how old my seats are. Now I know to hold onto the covers to store the latch.

So if you have the seat ff, how do you get them into the hole? Pass them through the ff beltpath. Do they go over the harness and between the shell or under the harness and on the sitting surface? And does it go in front of the belt buckle (not closes to the child) or behind it and closest to the child?
