NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder was one of just six vehicles named to the Cars.com 2024 Best Cars for Car Seats list, receiving all "A" ratings in the publication's Car Seat Check. Pathfinder received an "A" rating based on offering ample room for the front passenger, driver, child and car seat, as well as conveniently accessible and easy-to-use car seat LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) attachment points.
To compile data for its list, Cars.com's team of certified child passenger safety technicians evaluated 52 vehicles over the past 12 months. The team installed infant, convertible and high-back booster seats into each vehicle to test their LATCH systems and how well the vehicles accommodated the different car seats. To achieve an "A" rating, the LATCH system must be convenient to access and easy to use, while the vehicle should provide sufficient room for the child and car seat without impacting front-seat legroom.
"The Nissan Pathfinder passed Cars.com's car seat testing with flying colors," said Jennifer Geiger, Cars.com news editor and certified child passenger safety technician. "The car seat installation process is quick and convenient, and front-seat occupants will have plenty of legroom even with rear-facing seats installed behind them."
Pathfinder's spacious and accommodating cabin keeps families comfortable during daily drives and week-long road trips. It includes three rows of seats with standard seating for eight (seven with optional second-row captain's chairs). The EZ FLEX® second-row seats conveniently tip forward to provide access to the third row and feature the convenience of Nissan's LATCH AND GLIDE™ technology, allowing them to tip and slide even while a child safety seat is installed1.
Every Pathfinder provides the added confidence of standard Nissan Safety Shield® 3602, a suite of technologies that includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Assist and Rear Automatic Braking.
In addition, the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder was awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation for vehicles built after November 20233.
More than 20 years ago, Nissan introduced the industry-first Snug Kids® program to help caregivers select a child seat that fits their vehicle and provides tips on installing it. Find information for Pathfinder and other Nissan vehicles at the Snug Kids® fit guide website.
