Have Car Seats? Get An Equinox

It’s one thing to call something a “family vehicle,” but it’s another to prove it.

The Chevrolet Equinox was named to the Cars.com 2020 Car Seat Check Honor Roll, which recognizes it as being one of the best new cars for car seats!

PLUS, it was awarded a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

That means it makes parents’ jobs easier and keeps kids safer – exactly what a family vehicle should do.

The ever-popular SUV seats up to five people and gets 31 miles per gallon highway (26 mpg city). It has available all-wheel drive for those Midwest winters and tons of safety options, including:
• Standard rear-vision camera
• Available adaptive cruise control
• Available rear cross traffic alert
• Available rear-park assist
• Available lane change alert with side blind zone alert
• Available high definition surround vision
• Available safety alert seat
• Standard rear seat reminder
• Standard teen driver technology

Cars.com gave the Equinox an “A” grade for all types of car seats:

• Latch: The two sets of lower anchors are exposed; they’re easy to find and use. The three top tether anchors are clearly marked on the seatback for easy use.
• Infant: Our 5-foot, 6-inch-tall front passenger had plenty of room, and the seat installed easily.
• Rear-facing convertible: Again, the front passenger had ample legroom and installation was drama-free.
• Forward-facing convertible: After we raised the head restraint, the seat fit well. We had no problems connecting to the lower Latch anchors or the top tether anchor.
• Booster: Again, we raised the head restraint to ensure the booster was positioned flat against the seatback. The buckles are on short but stable stalks; kids should be able to grasp and use them independently.

With an available hands-free power liftgate, grocery-getting or packing for a long trip is a breeze. Included in its 63.9 cubic feet of storage space is hidden storage under the rear cargo floor! The second row is a 60/40 split-bench seat, which makes it possible to haul longer cargo.
