I'm guessing the best solution is to attach the child seat to the left / right rear, and occasionally move it to the center using the center seat belt when 2 adults need to sit in the back.

My understanding is that the main safety benefit with LATCH is that a proper installation is a lot more likely because many people do not properly install their seats using the seatbelt. Sort of like the birth control pill vs implant. Theoretically both are 99% effective but in practice people forget the pill etc.
For me the main benefit is ease of use as we move the seat in and out frequently. If you install and then leave it in the middle position it should work for you.
