2012 Honda CR-V: Car Seat Check

Honda has redesigned its venerable CR-V for the 2012 model year. This best-selling compact crossover has an improved interior, cargo configurations and ride quality. The CR-V easily carries five passengers, but when child-safety seats are added to the mix, only two of them fit in the rear seats.

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.
