| Child Seat problems |
The Mercedes Benz 280 can not have a child car seat tether installed. The tethers are required to be sold with car seats after sept 99, but merceded will not install these. In canada, the tether attachments are factory installed or there is a retrofit kit because cars are not allowed to be driven without these attachments. Toyota, gm, and others all install after-market tether kits at no charge. Mercedes will not. Please help. All cars will be required to have this attachment factor-installed by year 2002. In the meantime, the car seats tell you to install the attachment after market.
