How Do Car Seats Fit in a 2025 Tesla Cybertruck?
The verdict: Tesla’s Cybertruck may look wacky and underwhelms when it comes to utility compared to other pickups, but when it comes to car seats, the Cybertruck did well in our tests thanks to ample room and three accessible sets of Latch anchors.
Does it fit three car seats? No, but it was close; narrower car seats could work.
Take a look at how the Latch system and each car seat scored below in our Car Seat Check of the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck.

Latch: Grade A
The three sets of lower anchors are exposed for easy access, and three top tether anchors sit behind the head restraints.
Infant Seat: Grade A
Connecting to the lower anchors was easy, and the seat fit well; our 5-foot-6-inch front passenger had plenty of legroom in front of the infant seat.
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 B
This seat was also easy to install and fit well, but the outboard seats have fixed head restraints that push the car seat off of the seatback; the middle seat’s head restraint is adjustable. Note that there are different top tether connection instructions, depending on what type of tether strap your car seat uses:
- For outboard seats with double-strap top tether straps, route the strap around each side of the head restraint.
- For single tethers, route around the outside of the head restraint.
- For the center seat and with single-strap tether straps, route under the head restraint.
- For double-strap tethers in the middle, route around each side of the head restraint.
Booster: Grade B
The backseat is fairly bolstered, which helps situate the booster on the seat cushion. However, the outboard head restraints are fixed and push the booster off of the seatback. The middle spot has an adjustable head restraint, which can be raised to accommodate the booster. The buckles sit just high enough and are stable, making buckling easy.
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.
