2025 Volkswagen Atlas Recognized in Cars.com’s Best Cars for Car Seats

When shopping for a family vehicle, safety and practicality are at the top of the list—especially when it comes to installing car seats with ease. That’s why we’re excited to share that two Volkswagen models, the 2025 Volkswagen Atlas has been honored in Cars.com’s 2025 Best Cars for Car Seats Awards.

This recognition continues Volkswagen’s streak of top performances in Cars.com’s Car Seat Check program, reinforcing its reputation as a family-first automaker.

Why the 2025 Volkswagen Atlas Stands Out for Families

The Atlas has long been a favorite among families thanks to its three-row layout, roomy interior, and practical design. In Cars.com’s testing, it impressed with:

  • Easy-to-find LATCH anchors for effortless car seat installation

  • Stable buckles and ample space to accommodate multiple car seats

  • The ability to fit three car seats across when equipped with a bench seat

  • Drama-free third-row access and accessible top tethers for added safety

According to Cars.com’s certified child passenger safety technician, “The 2025 Volkswagen Atlas earns its spot… thanks to a three-row layout that delivers consistent A grades.”

Families looking for a spacious and affordable three-row SUV will find the 2025 Atlas an ideal choice. It combines Volkswagen’s hallmark driving dynamics with new technology, upgraded interior finishes, and a more responsive powertrain.

Cars.com’s Rigorous Car Seat Testing

Each year, Cars.com’s experts spend 12 months testing vehicles for car seat compatibility. Certified child passenger safety technicians install infant, convertible, and booster seats in each vehicle, evaluating factors such as:

  • LATCH system accessibility

  • Car seat fit and stability

  • Third-row usability

  • Overall family-friendliness

With 51 vehicles tested in 2025, the Atlas stood out as one of only seven winners.
