The verdict: The LX 700h is a full-size hybrid SUV with seats for five or seven across two or three rows of seats. For this Car Seat Check, we tested a two-row model with seats for five and liked its accessible Latch anchors and ample backseat legroom.

Does it fit three car seats? Yes.

Take a look at how the Latch system and each car seat scored below in our Car Seat Check of the 2025 Lexus LX 700h.

Latch: Grade A

The two sets of lower anchors sit under velcro flaps and are easy to find and use. Three top tether anchors on the seatback are also clearly marked for easy access and connection.

Infant Seat: Grade A

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

Rear-Facing Convertible: Grade A

As with the infant seat, the rear-facing convertible went in smoothly and fit well; it didn’t impact the front passenger’s legroom.

Forward-Facing Convertible: Grade A

After removing the head restraint, the forward-facing convertible fit well on the seat. The seat was also easy to install with trouble-free Latch connection.

Booster: Grade B

We again removed the head restraint to situate the booster flush against the seatback, and it fit well. However, the SUV’s buckles are on floppy stalks, which might give kids trouble when using them independently.

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.
