Child seat anchor bolt - 1981 300td wagon

Hey guys,

I just did a search and I can't find an answer to my question. Where have you guys installed your child seat anchor bolts on w123 wagons?

Thanks,

Tim

I don't know the right place to anchor but the headrest sockets look pretty beefy.

Donno. Why not use a childseat seatbelt crank? They are like $20 and tighten the hell out of the child seat. I use it, beats fighting the horrible rear seat belts in my benz (or modding)

The problem I have with MB belts is the buckle is on a very long tether. Usually have to tuck the buckle into the bowels of the child seat where it's difficult to release. Then the shoulder belt retractor is so strong that it lifts one side of the child seat. As safe as these cars are, I can't make a child seat work properly in an older MB

I just replaced the center seatbelt with an aftermarket bolt in, and cranked er down. seems to hold the carseat very snug.
