Putting a Car Seat into A Jeep Renegade
When you are buying a vehicle, you want to ensure that your most precious cargo are able to ride along without worry of being unsafe. The experts have put the 2015 Jeep Renegade to the test and are here to let you know what you can expect when you go to fit a car seat into your Jeep Renegade. We’ll tell you what you need to know!
The Ratings Are Good
Throughout the several different types of carseats available for different ages and sizes of children, the scores for the Renegade look good. The lowest scoring seat was the infant seat, which received a C ranking, meaning that there were some issues with connections. Otherwise, all the car seats seemed to be easily installed and quite sturdy inside the Renegade.
Specific Seats and The Ratings  
Here are the specific types of seats and their particular ratings:
Latch Seat: A
Infant Seat: C
Rear-Facing Convertible: B
Forward-Facing Convertible: A
Booster Seat: B
What Worked Well
The Renegade’s two lower latch anchors on the seats were easy to use and the three tether anchors on the rear seatbacks were easy to connect to.
The front passenger seat only needed to be moved forward slightly for the rear convertible seat, and the front passenger still had a comfortable amount of legroom.
What Wasn’t So Great
The rear-facing infant seat forced the front passenger seat to move forward quite a bit, and might create a cramped amount of legroom up front.
The rear seats belt buckles are great and sturdy, but because they are recessed into the seat cushion, they can be tricky to use for younger passengers.
