The Hyundai Santa Fe has a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, scoring a great 86% for child occupancy protection and 94% for adult occupancy protection. You can see if your pram will fit in the boot section of the full Santa Fe review here. The Sant Fe does have the smallest boot of all the seven-seat SUVs we tested, and will just fit the twin umbrella stroller on its side when using all seven seats. The Santa Fe has some great family-friendly features there are child lock and window lock controls in the driver's door control panel and ventilation controls for all three rows of seating from the front dash. The Santa Fe has rear window blinds, which are great for shading rear passengers but it has the rear heated seat controls in the rear doors, within reach of your little outboard passengers! There no top tether anchorages or ISOFix points in the third-row seats of the Hyundai Santa Fe. Three child seats fit across the second row and I could comfortably fit between two child seats as well. There are top tether anchorages for all the second-row seatbacks and ISO Fix in the two outer second-row seats too. The Santa Fe is spacious and we could sit a 182cm driver in front of a rear-facing child seat with a 180cm passenger in the third row. In joint second place is the Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander CRDi AWD. Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander CRDi AWD – 11.5/15 To see if your stroller will fit have a look at the boot section of the full review here.Īlthough the Mazda CX-9 has airbags in all three rows of seats and a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, it has not been tested for child occupancy protection. We only tested the boot space with a double umbrella stroller but it was one of the roomier boots out of all the SUVs tested, allowing the stroller to lay flat rather than on its side and prone to rolling. With window blinds in the second-row and seat belt reminders for all three rows of seats, the CX-9 was pretty hard to beat. The CX-9 also has excellent second-row access through from the front passenger seat. Legroom is also excellent throughout, with all three rows allowing for tall passengers and rear-facing child seats. There are ISOFIx points in the two outer second-row seats and top tether anchorages in all five rear seats. That's right! The Mazda CX-9 easily holds five child seats, and I could sit between two child seats in the second row. It comes as no surprise to me that the Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD has scored the best for family-friendly seven-seater SUV by BabyDrive testing, a proper, fully functional seven-seater, with great third-row access with the push of a button and with five child seats installed. Many thanks to Hire For Baby who kindly provided the child seats and strollers for this test!īelow are the nine SUVs, starting with the winner of my segment of judging: ‘Most child-friendly seven-seat family SUV' Error, group does not exist!
