How Do Car Seats Fit in a 2025 Infiniti QX60?

The verdict: For 2025, Infiniti updated its three-row QX60 SUV with a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine. In terms of its car-seat accommodations, the QX60 continues to excel with easy-access lower anchors and plenty of legroom in the second row; the third row’s confines are tight, however. For this Car Seat Check, we tested the Luxe trim with a second-row bench and two-position third row.

Does it fit three car seats? No; the middle seat is too narrow.

Take a look at how the Latch system and each car seat scored below in our Car Seat Check of the 2025 Infiniti QX60.

Latch: Grade A

The QX60 with the second-row bench seat has two sets of exposed lower anchors plus one extra single anchor in the middle spot. This makes the middle spot more flexible because a car seat can be installed there using the Latch system instead of a seat belt, but read the car’s owner’s manual before use for specifics. Also, the extra lower anchor eats space in the outboard seat, so a car seat can’t be installed next to it. Three top tether anchors sit on the seatback; they’re clearly marked.

Infant Seat: Grade A

This seat was easy to install, and our 5-foot-6-inch front passenger had ample legroom in front of it.

Rear-Facing Convertible: Grade A

As with the infant seat, the convertible in rear-facing mode went in easily and fit well.

Forward-Facing Convertible: Grade A

Installation via Latch was easy and after removing the head restraint, the convertible in forward mode fit well.

Booster: Grade B

We again removed the head restraint to situate the booster flat against the seatback. The QX60’s buckles might be tough for kids to grasp and use independently; they’re on short stalks that sit flush with the seat bottom cushion.

Third-Row Access: Grade A

A seatback button on both sides of the QX60 lifts and slides the second-row seat out of the way to create a big opening to the third row. The mechanism works when a forward-facing car seat is installed as well as when the infant seat’s base is installed; rear-facing car seats prevent it from moving sufficiently, however.

Third-Row Latch: Grade A

There’s one set of lower anchors on the driver’s side; they’re exposed for easy connection. Two top tether anchors sit on the seatback; they’re clearly marked and also easy to use.

Third-Row Forward-Facing Convertible: Grade B

Installing this car seat via Latch was easy, but the QX60’s fixed head restraint pushed the car seat off the seatback; it should sit flush against it. Also, legroom is very tight in the third row unless the second row shares.

Third-Row Booster: Grade C

Again, legroom was an issue. Also, there was barely enough seat space to accommodate the width of the booster, and kids will likely have trouble finding and using the buckle. It is embedded in the bottom cushion and can be tough to grasp. Lastly, again, the fixed head restraint prevented the booster from sitting flush against the seatback as it should.

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.
