Tethering 2 RF Britax in 3rd row Mazda CX9

Where can I tether 2 RF Britax Roudabouts in the 3rd row of a Mazda CX9? And does the car allow bracing or can I remove the headrests in the second row to allow more room?

The second row in that vehicle is on a track and they slide forward, correct? Is there no where on the track to get the d-ring around? If you're unsure, could you post a few pictures?

As for removing headrests, you don't intend to ever use the 2nd row for passengers? If so, I'd find a solution that leaves the 2nd row headrests intact.

Bracing not being allowed is usually related to the airbag sensors in passenger (front) seats. If you have the seat in the 3rd row bracing on the 2nd row shouldn't be a problem - as long as Britax still allows it. I know they used to but I don't know if that's changed (it's been more than 3 years since I had a RF kiddo).
