Having a family and deciding on the right vehicle to accommodate not just car seats, but also the things that go along with having young children, such as strollers, diaper bags, and the like, can be a daunting task. However, thanks to Cars.com, knowing what new vehicles fit car seats best can at least take that off your plate. For 2025, the website awarded the 2025 Volkswagen Atlas and ID.

What Cars.com Had to Say
“The 2025 Volkswagen Atlas earns its spot as one of Cars.com’s 2025 Best Cars for Car Seats thanks to a three‑row layout that delivers consistent A grades. Its second row, whether configured as a bench or captain’s chairs, offers easy‑to‑find Latch anchors, stable buckles, and ample space — even allowing three car seats across with the bench seat — and drama-free third‑row access and accessible top tethers keep the whole family secure and comfortable,” said Jennifer Geiger, Cars.com News Editor and Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. “Meanwhile, the all‑electric ID. Buzz was a Top Finisher in our rankings thanks to its wide, flat seats with exposed lower anchors, removable head restraints, and easy third‑row entry — features that make it a standout for families looking for an EV that’s as practical as it is playful.”
