Does anyone know of an SUv that has important features like a built-in booster seat, adjustable height shoulder belts, and tether anchors? I have a four year old, and need as many of these features as possible for unexpected carpools, or for emergencies, etc.
Do any of the SUV's market themselves as a minivan alternative? A minivan is not right for us.
Thanks!

We have a lot of information on vehicle safety features here:

I think you will find a nice assortment of top tether anchors in many SUVs. Built-in boosters are fairly rare. Just make sure to find and SUV with shoulder belts and head rests in all the seating positions. Then you can use an inexpensive low-back booster anywhere and still be very safe.

Please let us know if you have any more questions!
