2004 Mazda Mpv ex. While parked in a parking lot (car turned off), in passenger bucket seat behind driver, I sat down my 2 year old in order to change his diaper. I knew that the seats reclined using the lever on the side. While my son sat on the seat, I turned the lever, expecting seat to recline, however, there is a spring mechanism (?) that automatically tries to close the seat, folding the back of the seat forward, for storage and removal. I was not expecting the automatic folding of the seatback at the force at which it closed. When I pulled the lever the leat back closed on my son and pushed him into the back of the drivers seat (which has a handle on the back of it). He hit his mouth and forehead on the back of the drivers seat and complained of a sore mouth/tongue and had an abrasion on his forehead.

I am disappointed with the Mazda Mpv 2001. The second row of seats come together if you want them to. When apart, the captains chair behind the driver's seat does not an armrest but the other captain chair does. I have never been in a van that did not have an armrest on both outside seats. It seems to me that this is a safety concern if you are in a spin out and need something to grab onto, there is nothing there in that seat. It is an automatic reaction to grab where the armrest should be. Also, I am concerned about placing a child safety seat in that chair. If there is ever a side-impact, I feel that the arm rest might just be enough to keep the seat from sliding off due to the force of the crash.
