    Baby car seat install???

    So my wife is pregnant with our first child and I wanna know if I can install a car seat into my 1998 C230?? I cant see any hooks to hook into rear window dash. Somebody told me I can drill holes and install and clip for the car seat to hook in to. If anybody is rockin a baby car seat in their w202 let me know whats up.

    Cheers

    A 98 may or may not have the LATCH system, as it was not at that time, a mandatory safety feature. If you do not, just use the seat belt. When my daughter was born, we had a 201. Space was a little tight, but it worked. If you're worried about it not being secure, drive down to your local Police Department, and they will check it for you. Oh, and put a towel between the seat and the carseat unless you want permeant carseat lines imprinted into your back seat, lol.

    Thanks a lot Abaso! Yes my mechanic was telling me today to look from trunk to see if holes are there for the latch because you are right Twitchel04 my 1998 doesn't have the laches and is a mandatory feature now where I live. Good idea too I heard police and fire will check them out for you. I own a automotive/marine detail shop so steady lean ups of cheerios and Cheetos is a must lol. Appreciate the responses. thanks again
