Ours has the 3rd row but we keep it folded at all times and still haven't used it. I ordered an EQS 580 SUV without the 3rd row but ended up buying one that someone passed on so now I have a 3rd row I may never use. I did fold it to have a look. You could haul two adults in a pinch but it's really for small children. I don't have any personal pics to share but there are a number YouTube videos that show it.

EQS SUV 450+
I have one with the 3rd row. I have also sat in it I'm 6'2 my head hits the roof but my leg room is fine with the 2nd row pretty much all the way up. However I have 2 kids and 2 car seats currently, might have a 3rd kid coming in the near future, just wanted to see if anyone had any experience actually using the 3rd row with a car seat.
The 3rd row does not have any ISOFIX or an anchor behind the seats.

I would be curious as to how much time it would take to extract a child in a car seat in the third row after a wreck. Also, one sees on the news children left in hot cars in the Summer in a second row seat. They might be even more vulnerable to be forgotten in the third row.
