Is the only place to install any carseat with the latch system in the middle row in a mazda5??

I noticed while testdriving it that i could not get the two latches secured in the wedge of the 3rd row seats! Is that others experience also?

I can feel a metal bar that prob anchors the seatbelt latches but it was too thick and deeper and not easy to find like the bar/hook in the 2nd row seats which one can find easily blindfolded...

Decision to buy the car depends on whether i cn use carseats in the last row! Pls help!!

You have LATCH only in the second row. In the third row you use the seatbelt to install carseats.

Here's my Mazda5 about 18 months ago. No LATCH in the third row, just seatbelts. LATCH is not required for carseats. There are top tethers for forward facing in the third row, but no lower anchors. It's not a big deal. LATCH isn't safer.
