Anchor Systems in Vehicles

[kattale]

I am sure this is a very common question, but Google has not turned up any information for me.

Which vehicle models (minvans, cars, SUV's, *anything*) have the most anchor systems? (LATCH, or top tether)

The Toyato Seina has 3 sets of latches in the middle row and 3 tethers in the middle (not sure of the back row).
The Saturn Ion has 3 rows of Latch and Tether..
That is all I know for sure..

The Toyota Sienna has at least one set in the third row. Im not sure because I havent had to install seats back there. :o But I think it might even have two, which gives a total of 5. I will check and let you know :o

Okay, I pulled my LATCH manual for this one. ;)

The 2001 Grand Caravan came with 4 sets of lower anchors... one in each captain's chair and both outboard positions in the third row... with an a 5th additional top tether point in the middle of the third row. Unfortunately, that was the only year they did that.

The 2000 - 2003 Windstar also had 4 sets of LATCH with an additional 5th top tether.

The 2001 - 2002 Quest also had 4 sets of LATCH with an additional 5th top tether.

The 2004 - 2006 Sienna also had 4 sets of LATCH, no additional top tethers though.

The 2006 - 2007 Odyssey has 3 sets of LATCH with an additional 2 top tethers.

The 2003 - 2007 Pilot has 2 sets of LATCH with an additional 4 top tethers.

I see a trend... you need to buy an older vehicle if you want more LATCH positions. :p

These days it's the Odyssey and Siena that seem to have the most top tethers. All of the 2007 vans come with 3 sets of lower anchors and top tethers. The Odyssey and Sienna just add more top tethers to the mix.

The Pilot does triumph over all the vehicles with the most carseat positions. It's an 8 passenger vehicle and *ALL* backseat positions have a top tether. The two outboard positions in the second row are LATCH compatible.
