How Do Car Seats Fit in a 2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid?

The verdict: Toyota’s popular Camry should be a hit with families looking for fuel economy and room from a sedan. We tested the hybrid version, and it earned high grades thanks to easy-access Latch anchors and ample legroom. The hybrid has the same amount of legroom as the gas-powered model; check out our Car Seat Check of that version, which mostly carries over for 2023.

Does it fit three car seats? No.

Take a look at how the Latch system and each car seat scored below in our Car Seat Check of the 2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid.

A Grade

• Latch: The two sets of lower anchors sit under plastic covers and are easy to find and use. Three top tether anchors are on the rear shelf; they’re clearly marked, and the outboard ones are easy to see and use. The middle tether anchor is behind a fixed head restraint, so it’s more difficult to access.
• Infant: Installing the infant seat was easy, and our 5-foot 6-inch front passenger had a comfortable amount of legroom.
• Rear-facing convertible: Again, the seat installed easily and the front passenger was comfortable.
• Forward-facing convertible: After removing the head restraint, the convertible fit well. The only hiccup was that we had to fold the seat down via the trunk to remove the head restraint, which was awkward; there’s no way to fold the seats down from the cabin. We had no trouble connecting to an outboard top tether anchor.

B Grade

• Booster: The seat fit well after removing the head restraint and situating it flush against the seatback. The buckles are on short stalks that are flush with the seat bottom cushion, which will likely make them tough for kids to grasp and use independently.

C Grade

• None

Grading Scale

A: Plenty of room for the car seat and the child; doesn’t impact driver or front-passenger legroom. Easy to find and connect to Latch and tether anchors. No fit issues involving head restraint or seat contouring. Easy access to the third row.

B: One room, fit or connection issue. Some problems accessing the third row when available.

C: Marginal room plus one fit or connection issue. Difficult to access the third row when available.

D: Insufficient room, plus multiple fit or connection issues.

F: Does not fit or is unsafe.

About Cars.com’s Car Seat Checks

Editors Jennifer Geiger and Jennifer Newman are certified child safety seat installation technicians.

For the Car Seat Check, we use a Chicco KeyFit 30 infant-safety seat, a Graco Contender 65 convertible seat and Graco TurboBooster seat. The front seats are adjusted for a 6-foot driver and a shorter passenger. The three child seats are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver’s seat, and the infant and convertible seats are installed behind the front passenger seat.

We also install the forward-facing convertible in the second row’s middle seat with the booster and infant seat in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit; a child sitting in the booster seat must be able to reach the seat belt buckle. If there’s a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible. Learn more about how we conduct our Car Seat Checks.

Parents should also remember that they can use the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat, and that Latch anchors have a weight limit of 65 pounds, including the weight of the child and the weight of the seat itself.
