Child Seat LATCH System Retrofit 1991 E300

My wife and I are expecting our first in a few weeks. I would like to know what is necessary for me to do to retrofit a LATCH anchoring system (top strap anchor and/or side anchors) into a 1991 E300 (W124). I've done some research and there is apparently a nut already welded for the top anchor, but I must locate some form of bolt extension kit. Does PeachParts carry this item?

Thanks

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, this appears to be a dealer only thing due to liability.

I don't think Phil will hold you liable.

Based on my talk with Phil, I talked to the dealership near me. I gave him the make and model, then later the VIN. Apparently Mercedes never made an option kit available for this model and year. So, the best and only approach will be through seatbelt securing of the child seat.

Thanks for the help!

More peculiar questions coming soon!

Seatbelt securing works very well. There's a blue plastic and steel winch like device we use to secure the babyseats in our cars. You can get it at Babies R Us. In my (former) 94 E500, we were hit head on by an out of control Toyota Sequoia. My (then 3 year old) son's seat didn't budge.

If you haven't purchased a seat yet...

Let me suggest Britex. British? Anyway, they hold up very well- was the cover many times and it comes out looking like new. Baby one first for 3 months or so then onto the Britex and our eldest stayed in his till he was 5. The seat is taller than most.
Latch system didn't exist in the W124 days.
