We got a Mazda5 as our secondary vehicle in December. It replaced an 05 Hyundai Elantra which we scraped knuckles to get seats into. We have 3 kids- 10, 6, and 2. I love it! We currently have my 10 year old in a Clek Olli backless booster and 6 year old harnessed in a frontier 85 in the second row. My 2.5 year old is rearfacing in a classic Britax in the third row. I keep the second seat in the third row down and dd just climbs in through the hatch and I buckle her. I sometimes have my BJCM bungied to the cargo anchors on the laid down seat but I mainly keep a volo along the back of the third row. I keep that bungied as well. I usually only have dd with me most days so I can use the second row for cargo if needed.
We also have an 8 passenger Sienna as our primary family vehicle. We use that for big trips and when we need more space. I think the 5 is for sure an awesome secondary car. Not sure how I'd feel if I had to have the kids in it all the time but with a carrier on top, I could see it as totally doable.
