this is a bit of a personal victory for me, sorry if I'm a bit excited.. does anyone appreciate how hard it is to get car seats in a car? it's back breaking work! :zoom: |

I only have to get one but yeah, it is hard. 3! Great job, pic!!! please |
While I cringe thinking of keeping up with 3 kids in car seats (we stopped at 2), I can totally appreciate the validation you get from this accomplishment. It wasn't too long ago that I needed two car seats. And it is completely satisfying when you get them in there rock solid. I remember leaning on them with my knee just to pull that strap another quarter inch tighter. If you don't break a sweat you're not doing it right.
It's nice to travel now and not need all that stuff. I do miss the old minivan though. |
Congrats! We have 2, which seemed to get re-shuffled in different configurations in the GL every few months... hard work for sure to do it right.
And in an AMG car, even cooler lol. |
Nice! I tried to do 3 last week but gave up after about an hour. Just could not fit 2 britax frontier 85 seats with full head protection and a booster all on the 2nd row. In the end I had to let my son and his best friend sit in the 3rd row. They loved it on the 2 hour drive. The other kids sat in the middle row in the two britax seats.
The 3rd row seats in the wagon do come in handy once in a while. :) |

Well done. Do you think you could get 3 Diono's in together instead of the infant seat?

Part of the pain in the ass of having buy-backs of two e550s was that dropping them off for loaners a hundred times made swapping car seats such a pia that it fueled my rage towards Mbusa and they heard about it each and vwery phone call I finally just bought two extra car seats for all the loaners and forced mb dealership to install them each time I dropped the e550 off for another trans repair |
I'm seeing a Chicago-based business opportunity here.....
"Car Seats by Peter" (?) |
wow, that is no small feat. good work!
|
So without latch UAS. How does the middle diono secure? Using the seat belt? Just curious. I just have the 1 diono in there now. The Suv has 2.... Don't think I'll need 3 in the E350. But don't hold me that just yet.
|
The middle diono uses the Benz shoulder belt and rear deck tether. I've contemplated using extender links from then middle latches to let each seat "share" a latch, but the Benz belt works well
|
Thanks for clearing that up.
