This is where the child safety seat attaches

You guessed it, I move the driver seat forward flex it all the way and there is No bracket, also feeling the springs they are not compressed ...
Sounds like the seat bracket has broken - perhaps the previous owner was mucho grande, or perhaps a test driver or sales person.
