SUV's with center latch?

Jennsters · Jun 24, 2013

I am hoping for some help buying a new car. I am probably doing things backwards but what vehicles have center latch? I think the Honda Pilot does after a certain year, but do any other SUV's have it as well?

TIA!

I should add, I have a Chicco NextFit so no latch borrowing is allowed. Thanks!

Pilot '09 & up does.

Tahoes with the bench have center and passenger-side LATCH. I'm sure there are more.

The info in this article is from 2010, but it might be a good place to see a list of vehicles in one spot: http://thecarseatlady.wordpress.com...-of-the-lower-anchors-in-the-center-position/

I don't know about the cars (my SUV does not have lower latch anchors in the center, just the top tether anchor). But I will say that I would not choose a vehicle simply because it has lower anchors in the center.
LATCH has a weight limit, and at some point, your child is going to outgrow that. Which means you will have to install a child restraint with the seatbelt at some point anyway.
I prefer to keep my child in the center too, and I've found that seatbelt installs are really quite easy!

Thanks! We have had her in the center using a seatbelt install for 19 months without a problem. I had to move her to the side when I was transporting two kiddos and the install with LATCH in the Nextfit is so easy and I get a better fit. She's a peanut at 19 months (21 pounds, 30 in), so we have awhile to go before we hit the limits!

My '11 Acura MDX has 3 full sets of LATCH in the center row plus 2 tether anchors in the 3rd row (not that you'd actually want to wrestle a child restraint into the 3rd row). I believe the previous body style was the same as well, so it goes way back.
