Child safety is a top concern for parents every time they strap their little one into a car seat and head out on the road. However, how well your child is protected during a car accident depends on proper car seat installation. And as a parent of a two-year-old boy, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to install these type of seats.
The good news is Toyota has been working to make child safety mounts easier to use and access, and it is being recognized for the efforts. The national automotive outlet, Cars.com, has named the 2016 Toyota RAV4 to its Car Seat Honor Roll. The compact SUV is one of only six vehicles, out of 84 model-year 2016 and 2017 vehicles tested, to earn this top distinction.
The RAV4 achieved a perfect score in all categories of the test. The inspections were performed by child passenger safety technicians using an infant seat, convertible seat and booster seat. In a recent press release, Cars.com said, “when it comes to car seats, the RAV4 is at the top of the class.”
“We’ve put a lot of effort into making installation of child safety seats easier, and we’re glad to see that it’s working,” said Jennifer Pelky, senior safety engineer at Toyota’s North American R&D Headquarters.
