In the 2013 model, do these seats lock into the folded up position? IIRC, in my 2012, the only tumble forward to access the rear but do not lock up... am I wrong?

I believe you are asking about the seats not locking up in the tumbled position. Although I don't have the 2013, I do have a 2011 and mine do not lock into the tumbled position. I don't really see a need for it. They seem to be weighted down enough as it is.

I was wondering if they locked up in the "tumbled" position because I think it would increase some storage space for the way I want to load something. I saw this thread and figured I would ask. The only reason to tumble them up otherwise would be for access to the rear seats, I guess.

Pretty sure they don't lock unless there is something you have to do to lock them. I know when I put them forward, I don't have to do anything (like pull a release or something) to push them back down.
