CAR-BUYING QUESTIONS

Should I bring my car seats to the dealership?

If you have kids in car seats, yes. Installing your actual car seats shows whether they fit securely, whether LATCH anchors are easy to reach, and how much room is left for front passengers. Rear-facing seats in particular can take up surprising space. Also try your stroller, sports gear or other cargo in the trunk. OffLot's lot mode checklist includes trying your car seats and cargo.
