2015 Dodge Grand Caravan

The 2015 Dodge grand caravan is ideal for moving both cargo and people. This is made possible due to the Stow 'n Go seats found in the second row. You can get a lot of space by folding the chairs into the vehicle’s floor. It works great for running daily errands or dropping off the kids at school. The second-row captain's chairs have two sets of lower LATCH anchors that are easily accessed. Rear-facing infant and convertible seats can also be installed without hassle.

2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Chrysler gave a big boost to its Pacifica minivan in 2017. The Pacifica offers several family-friendly features like Stow 'n Go second-row seating that can be folded down into the floor. It was also named a top safety pick by the IIHS in 2017. It is available in both 7 and 8 passenger models, and both models have full sets of LATCH anchors on the second and third rows. In addition, there are large walkways between the seats that offer excellent access to the third row. High-back booster seats are a breeze to install in the second row and kids can easily buckle themselves.

2017 Ford Escape

This compact crossover is ideal for families who are looking for a transition from a car to SUV.  The Escape is a fun to drive vehicle that has sophisticated safety features and easily accommodates car seats in its second-row seats. The front passenger seat might have to be adjusted for installing a rear-facing convertible, but the comfort level is not compromised. The rear outside seats have two sets of lower LATCH anchors that can be found easily, and the seatbacks have three tether anchors at the bottom. The seat belt buckles are both high enough and stable enough for children to use.

2018 Toyota Sienna

The Sienna minivan offers a blend of driving comfort, large cargo space, and numerous family-friendly features like anchors for four car seats and power sliding side doors. Each of the two rear seats has four sets of LATCH anchors. If you are installing a car seat in the third row and need more room, simply slide the second-row seats forward. Also, if you need more room while installing second-row car seats, just slide the captain's chair towards the back. A booster seat can be easily installed after removing the head restraints.

2018 Ford Expedition

For the 2018 model year, Ford upgraded the Expedition by adding in comfort features and more room. This large SUV is available in 7 or 8 passenger formats. This vehicle is one of the best for car seats, thanks to easily accessible car seat anchors and reclining seatbacks. Installing infant car seats is easy, and older children will benefit from stable seat belt buckles.
