marathon in ford explorer?

[Lara]

I'm letting my friend borrow my marathon for a few days, and I'm going to install it in her explorer (ff) tomorrow (and teach her, of course ) Its an 02 (or later- not quite sure of the year), it has LATCH. Are there any install issues I should be aware of?

Also, where exactly are the tether anchors? I'm guessing on the back of the seat right? I just don't want to have to be hunting around for them

I can't answer your questions but what is K going to be riding in if your loaning her MA out

Her old triumph. she's actually got more growing room in it height wise than the marathon! Oh, and this is the friend I'm trying to get your bv to . She finally agreed to borrow the marathon so she could find the britax love

Cool!!! I would love for it to go to a good home. So is K going to outgrow her MA soon???

We have a 05 Ford Explorer. Ours has the latch hooks also. The top tether hooks outboard are on the floor and the center hook is on the bottom (knee area) of the thrird row seat. In order for us to get a good install FF with our Marathon we have to recline the seat a little because of the angle of the Marathon back. I did find that we could get a fabulous install with the Radian and Nautilus too. Hope this helps.

Thanks, that does help!

Steph- She has about an inch or so left. More in other cars, but in my car it sits really reclined so she looses a lot of room (she is below the second to top slots in the house!)
