When shopping for a new vehicle, finding one with enough space for your family and gear is a top priority, especially if you have young children still in car seats. The new Mazda CX-50 is a popular choice for Lockport, NY, families, but will your car seat fit properly in this compact crossover SUV? Here's what you need to know.
LATCH System for Easy Car Seat Installation
To make installing car seats a breeze, the Mazda CX-50 comes equipped with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system. This includes lower anchors and top tether anchors that are built into the rear seats.
The lower anchors are located in the seat bight, where the bottom seat cushion meets the seat back. They are easily accessible and compatible with the LATCH connectors on most modern car seats. The top tether anchors are positioned behind the rear seat headrests and help secure forward-facing car seats.
It's important to always refer to your car seat manufacturer's instructions and vehicle owner's manual when installing a car seat. Proper installation is crucial for your child's safety. If you need assistance, many local fire departments and police stations offer free car seat installation checks.
Mazda CX-50 Interior Dimensions
The Mazda CX-50 offers a spacious interior with plenty of room for passengers and cargo. You'll find 39.6 inches of legroom in the rear seat and 55.6 inches of shoulder room. This means there is ample space to accommodate most car seats, from infant carriers to convertible and booster seats.
The rear seats feature a 60/40-split folding design, allowing you to customize the space to fit your needs. With the seats folded down, the CX-50 provides up to 56.3 cubic feet of cargo volume, perfect for stowing strollers, diaper bags, and other baby gear.
