Where do you put the kids, and is it easy to get them in and out?
(First time on this forum -- I've posted on the carseat forum before.)
I just discovered the Mazda5 and love the concept, but I'm wondering how hard it would be to get 3 kids in it every day. Just from the pictures, it looks pretty cramped to get back to the 3rd row, especially if there was a carseat in the 2nd row behind the driver. I'm imagining baby behind driver, another kid next to baby, and another in the 3rd row, with the other 3rd row seat folded down for storage when there's no extra kid along.
I do love the storage in the back of my Mercury Sable wagon -- is there "enough" room in the back of the Mazda5?
Probably a bigger minivan makes the most sense for 3 kids, but I'm 5 feet tall and don't feel comfortable with a minivan. This is partly because I've backed into things before because I couldn't see well enough out the back of a sedan -- haven't done that since I got a cushion to sit on, lol, but I am really scared of backing into something with a big minivan. Just don't want to drive something huge anyway.
