Unhappy Can't find latch points for a rear facing car seat in this car!

My husband and I are having to borrow a car from a friend it's a 2007 Acura TL. I have a Safety 1st Saunter Car seat



I can't find the latch points for the car seat so I can secure it down. This is my first baby and I'm really confused where I'm going to attach these straps. I'm not so worried about the actual seat belt but I'm having a hard time figuring out how I'm going to get this rear facing car seat into the middle. This guy really hasn't taken great car of his car and I don't know if I'm just not seeing something or if I'm completely blind.

If anyone could help me that'd be lovely!

Have you ever thought of using duck tape?

"[The TL] is equipped with
LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children) at the outer
rear seats.[i.e. not in the middle seat]

The lower anchors are located
between the seat-back and seat
bottom, and are to be used only with
a child seat designed for use with
LATCH.

The location of each lower anchor is
indicated with a small button above
the anchor point
."

You should feel for each latch after locating each button on the seat back. G/L!

On the baby or on the car seat?

If you're putting the seat in the middle, you'll have to use the seatbelt. The two inner-most latches are too far apart from each other to be used safely.
