2012 Cadillac SRX: Car Seat Check

With its angular exterior, the 2012 Cadillac SRX looks fast, and it backs up those looks with a new-for-2012 308-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 that will have Mom and Dad arguing over who gets to drive the kids to school. However, all those angles really hamper the SRX’s rear visibility, making the optional backup camera a must-have for this five-seat crossover.

For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide 30 rear-facing infant-safety seat, a Britax Roundabout convertible child-safety seat and Graco high-back TurboBooster seat.

How many car seats fit in the second row? Two

Editor’s note: For three car seats — infant-safety seat, convertible and booster seats — to fit in a car, our criterion is that a child sitting in the booster seat must be able to reach the seat belt buckle. Parents should also remember that they can use the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat.
