WRT car seat and access to 3rd row, that’s just poor design on Acura part. The new Infiniti JX will let you slide one seat forward even with a car seat in it, to access the 3rd row.

Didn’t know that about the JX… My X5 has the same issue if I put the car seat in the middle as the MDX. Actually, I have a bigger problem…Basically, if you put the car seat in the middle, people can’t it’s hard for people on either side to buckle up because the car seat I’m using covers the seatbelt buckles on both sides…Probably an issue with my car seat. I opted not to get the third row because I didn’t use the third row on the MDX when I had it….And of course, BMW charges for everything. The seats, the cushions, the air you breathe in it…etc.etc.etc.
