Child Safety Seats for Honda CR-Vs

Child Safety Seats for Honda CR-V’s 2008-2019

Looking for a family-friendly yet affordable option? The CR-V has is it all, keeping both family and fun at top of mind. At Honda, we strive to provide a high level of standard safety features to help ensure the safety of occupants, other drivers and even pedestrians – and the CR-V is no exception. This added peace of mind helps our drivers maintain the confidence to enjoy every road to the fullest. Whether you’re driving or sitting in the passenger seat, feel confident in the latest in safety and innovation from Honda. The CR-V has been designed to accommodate the needs of a growing family, including enhancing the ease of installing tricky child safety seats. The CR-V features childproof rear door locks as well as rear seat Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH), which give you a simple and convenient method to install compatible child safety seats without using the vehicle’s seat belt system. In addition, the rear doors feature nearly 90-degree mobility allowing easy access to not only install child safety seats but also into load and unload your infants, toddlers, or small children. To ease the process further, we have outlined below specific child safety seats that are able to seat three across in CR-V’s 2008-2019 models.

2017-2019 Honda CR-V

Guaranteed 3 across installations:

Tips and Tricks:

The current generation of CR-V is 73 inches wide, or an inch wider than the prior generation. The length of both generations is slightly longer as well at just under 181 inches, indicating you’ll also have a bit more front-to-back length. As a result, this is the roomiest CR-V yet, and you’ll have a slightly easier time fitting seats here than in the past.

As with every generation of the CR-V, however, given the rather short length of the crossover, you’ll want to keep your front-to-back space in mind if you’d like to use the Dionos; I strongly recommend getting the angle adjuster so you won’t make driving your CR-V or sitting in the front passenger seat a negative experience. Similarly, to maximize side-to-side space, use your seat belts instead of the LATCH anchors.

2012-2016 Honda CR-V

Guaranteed 3 across installations:

Tips and Tricks:

The 2012-2016 generation of CR-V is 72 inches wide, which remains unchanged from the width of the prior generation. The length of both generations is also the same at 178 inches, indicating front to back length will also be the same. As a result, any seats that can fit in the current generation, in general, will also fit in the previous generation.
