can I put a car seat in a 2015 Buick Regal
We have all been seeing the new Buick midsize sedan, the Regal, around lately. Scoring high with critics for its classy design and innovative 4-cylinder turbo engine, the Regal seems like the perfect combination of space and functionality. But we were left wondering, can I put a car seat in a 2015 Buick Regal? Cars.com did a test to help us find out! Read on to find out what they said.
The safety and security of children riding in a car seat is undeniable in today’s automotive world. Stories of parents who get into accidents with children who do not meet the qualifications to be in the car without a car seat or booster seat make it important to consider the safety of vehicles that will be the transportation of your family. We want to give you a little confidence in the 2015 Buick Regal’s safety features and car seat ability.
There were a few distinct things that the testers at cars.com found were particularly helpful about the Regal.
-
the leather seats are stiff, but the anchors for the car seats were positioned so they could be reached easily.
-
the rear-facing infant and convertible seats both fit easily in the backseat. There was no extra effort necessary because there was plenty of space without having to move the front passenger seat forward.
This one thing made it a little tricky:
-
It can be difficult for young children to buckle themselves in because the buckles themselves sink into the seat when you are pushing the seat belt into the latch.
Overall, the testing experts gave the latch system, infant-safety seat, rear and front facing convertible seats a grade of A. This means that they felt the seat and child had lots of space, and there was no problem connecting the latch and tether anchors. The Booster seats, however, was given a B for the difficulty a child would have buckling themselves in.
