2012 Chevrolet Traverse: Car Seat Check

This Car Seat Check was originally published in September 2011 on MotherProof.com.

With seating for seven or eight passengers, the 2012 Chevrolet Traverse can easily handle a large family in its three rows. For our Car Seat Check, we tested a Traverse with eight 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

How many car seats fit in third 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.
