#10 of 15 Car seat in second row in CX9 by myvanny Dec 18, 2007 (12:03 pm)
We have a rather big 1 year old.. Does anyone know if the a car seat can go in the middle seat of second row seat in the CX9? Also when there is a car seat in middle is it diffcult to access the third row? Replies to this message: baggs32 (Dec 20, 2007 5:29 am)

Replying to: myvanny (Dec 18, 2007 12:03 pm) I don't have a CX-9 but it does have a 60/40 splic second row. That means you could put a car seat in the middle of the second row and still be able to easily access the 3rd row from the "40" side of the split row. That being said, we have a 4 year old and a 22 month old, who is also rather large, and found that the car seats we are using for them are a bit wide in the base. When we put the two of them next to each other they almost blocked the "40" side from folding up in our '06 Explorer. So if you have a seat with a wide base in the middle of the row then it could hang over the split and make it difficult to fold the seat for access to the 3rd row. That goes for pretty much any vehicle except a minivan so choose your car seat wisely if you plan to put it in the middle of the 2nd row of any SUV/CUV.
