Mazda CX-5 has excellent handling and strong safety performance. When installing the child car seat, note that the rear side seats have a raised design. If the car has a support leg, special attention is needed when using it. For rear-facing installations, the front seat may need to be moved forward significantly. If all of the car seats are forward-facing, the backseat is wide enough to accommodate up to three car seats, each approximately 40-45cm (15.7-17.7in) wide using the seatbelt installation method. This article uses PERO child car seats to explain the installation steps and key considerations when using booster seats in the Mazda CX-5.

Mazda CX5 with PERO Installation Example
Installing the PERO car seat in a Mazda CX-5 is, in most cases, straightforward, trouble-free and fits well without any issues. If you need to install more than two car seats at the same time, you may consider using the WIDFIX ISOFIX extender to create extra space.
For example, if you’re using the Cuore012 ISOFIX car seat for a newborn, you can later convert it into a Group II booster seat when your child reaches around 15–18 kg, and switch to seat belt installation as they grow.
