Hello,
My wife and I have decided on the Ascent for our next car. A LARGE part of this decision is based on the ability to place a car seat in the center 2nd row seat, when equipped with the bench seat. We walked away from an imminent Highlander purchase once we decided that this was a requirement.
However, I just came across a great post from a forum member who went to the Detroit auto show, and apparently there is a single LATCH anchor in the center seat, placed right in the middle.
Questions:
1. Does anyone know how this will work with an infant car seat base?
2. How will access to the 3rd row be?
Thank you,
Jon
EDIT:
I found this website, which has pictures of the Ascent 2nd row. It looks like, for this buyer, that Subaru has designed themselves out of a sale.

The VW Atlas would be the next choice if not for the ridiculous fuel mileage. Bumping to an Audi Q7 or Ford Expedition may be our options.
