2012 Dodge Durango: Car Seat Check
2012 Dodge Durango: Car Seat Check Oct 14 2011 by Jennifer NewmanThe 2012 Dodge Durango looks to build on last year’s success. For the 2012 model year, the Durango added optional second-row captain’s chairs with a center console. For our Car Seat Check, we tested a Durango with a three-seat bench in the second row, making it a seven-seater.
For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide 30 rear-facing infant-safety seat, a Britax Roundabout convertible child-safety seat and Graco high-back TurboBooster seat. The front seats are adjusted to a comfortable position for a 6-foot driver and a 5-foot-8 passenger. The three child seats are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver’s seat, and the infant seat and convertible seats are installed behind the passenger seat. We also install the infant seat in the second row’s middle seat with the booster and convertible in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit. If there’s a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible.
