Dodge Challenger Car Seat Anchors
The Dodge Challenger does indeed have car seat anchors, specifically lower LATCH anchors, for installing child safety seats. In fact, the Challenger accommodates car seats better than expected and even has room for three car seats across the backseat, plus an extra set of lower LATCH anchors for the middle seat.
For installing child safety seats, there are three complete sets of LATCH connectors for the Challenger’s rear seats. All three sets of lower anchors are set deeply in the seats, although it may be difficult to maneuver around the middle-seat anchors and may require some force to attach the car-seat straps.
The Challenger has three sets of lower LATCH anchors, allowing parents to use the LATCH system to install a car seat in any rear seat. The outboard LATCH sets were easy to use because they sit about an inch inside the seat cushions.
In summary, the Dodge Challenger is equipped with the necessary lower LATCH anchors to accommodate car seats, making it a viable option for families needing to transport young children.
