On my 2005 SE7, I have to press a button on both headrest stems. One is the usual one for raising the headrest, the other is smaller and needs small fingers or an implement. And you also have to pull up. It is easiest for me with someone helping.

(Let me get this straight. . .they did a comparison of the car seats but knowingly did not install the Britax correclty, yet installed the others correctly and thought that was ok? Gosh, I bet any vehicle can out perfrom every Land Rover if you knowlingly put Red Bull in the gas tank of the Land Rovers and normal gas in the gas tank of all other trucks. . .)
I did see one LR3 that had the car seat/base installed in the middle seat in the rear. I'm guessing this is to get rid of the problem I mentioned above. However, there are no LATCH connections that I can find in the center seat, so I guess I'd have to use the seat belt attachment. Which, works fine but is less convenient to pull the base in and out which I do often.
Interesting post. I may ask the dealer just to humor myself, but I can't see them installing a child safety restraint at the dealership?!?!? I have to think there would be some liability issues there that they would not want to get involved with, if, their work failed during an accident or something. Is the LATCH system just standard parts that they can install as an option on any of the seatbelts? (3rd seat included?)I read an article where the dealer installed LATCH connectors to the middle seat on request for a person. They have worked well for her. I am considering this option also.
here is the page. It's the post titled "Mom who owns LR3", 3rd post from top.

Hope this helps.
They are just anchor points. I would agree a normal dealer wouldn't want the liability of doing a retrofit mount... but it isn't rocket-science.Interesting post.
