2012 Honda Civic Sedan: Car Seat Check

This Car Seat Check was first published in May 2011 on MotherProof.com.

Honda redesigned its best-selling Civic for the 2012 model year. It comes in two body styles — coupe and sedan, which we tested in our Car Seat Check. The sedan’s backseat is now larger, with an extra inch of rear legroom.

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 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.
