I'm wondering if this vehicle would be any better for 4 car seats than our current set-up in a Suburban. Does this year Mazda have LATCH?? Tether anchors? How many?

We can install all our seats in our Suburban, but we can't do three-across in the third row, no matter what kind of seats we have. And there are two seating locations that are lap-belt only w/ no headrest. AND, we only have two tether anchors in the entire vehicle. Would the Mazda be better than that?

I can't get to the Mazda to actually see it, but we have the opportunity to purchase it dirt cheap. The car seat issue is rather pertinant for us, so any insight is very welcome!

Thank you so much!

It looks like you would be limited to 2 top tether anchors maximum in the 2000 MPV based on the LATCH manual's info. The 2000 MPV isn't factory equipped with lower LATCH anchors or top tether anchors. It can have two top tethers retrofitted for the second row outboard seats only. If you do go with the MPV, the Mazda tether anchor retrofit part number is LCY2-57-77X and there are two weld nuts on the floor behind the second row for installing the tether anchors. There are no weld nuts behind the third row at all, sorry. :(
