2024 VW ID.4 Atlas and Atlas Cross SportHaving the right vehicle for a growing family is very important. Between vehicle safety, interior space, how easy or difficult it is to put in and take out a car seat, and so much more, car shopping can be frustrating when you have children. That’s why Volkswagen works hard to ensure that every vehicle they make is well suited for family duty. It’s also why Cars.com’s independent testing of car seats in automobiles is so important to buyers.

Cars.com’s Latest Car Seat SUV Test

In their latest test, Cars.com brought along a new set of vehicles, and the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, and all-electric ID.4 received straight A’s across the board in the website’s grading. The types of car seats and boosters used for testing are the Chicco KeyFit 30 infant car seat, the Graco Contender 65 convertible, and the Graco TurboBooster. The driver’s seat is positioned for a driver who is 6 feet tall, and the passenger seat is set for someone a little shorter.

The website tests how easy it is to fit a car seat or booster to the Latch anchors and tether system, a rear-facing infant seat, a rear-facing convertible, a forward-facing convertible, a high-back booster seat, and third-row access if the vehicle has a third row.

A Word from Cars.com

“During Cars.com’s testing, we found the Volkswagen Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, and ID.4 all excelled when it came to our car seat testing,” said Jennifer Geiger, Cars.com News Editor and Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. “Growing families will surely appreciate each vehicle’s roominess and conveniently accessible Latch anchors, making car seat installation a breeze.”

“Volkswagen is proud to have our Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, and ID.4 models acknowledged as three of the best in this year’s Best Cars for Car Seats list,” said Thomas Zorn, Vice President of Vehicle Safety, Volkswagen Group of America. “This recognition is a testament to the care taken in the research and development of our vehicles regarding the areas of safety and functionality.”

Easy-to-Use SUVs For Families

The biggest takeaways were that each model had plenty of rear legroom, even in the coupe-like Atlas Cross Sport. Their Atlas test model featured the second-row captain’s chairs, which makes access to the third row of any vehicle immensely easier.
