How Car Seats Fit in the 2025 Acura ADX: Baton Rouge Car-Seat Check & Tips

Families around Baton Rouge have been asking how well the all-new 2025 Acura ADX handles real-life car seats. Short answer: it does great. Even as a subcompact luxury SUV, ADX offers smart space, easy-to-reach LATCH anchors, and everyday usability.

Below is our dealership guide built from hands-on evaluations by certified child-seat techs, plus local tips and an easy way to book a car-seat test-fit at Acura of Baton Rouge. Always follow your Acura owner’s manual and your car-seat manual.

Results at a Glance

• LATCH system: A — lower anchors and top tethers (outboard) are exposed and easy to access.
• Infant seat: A — quick install and good front passenger legroom.
• Rear-facing convertible: A — easy install with minimal impact on front passenger space.
• Forward-facing convertible: B — good fit; the center seat’s ceiling-mounted top tether can affect rear visibility.
• Booster seat: A — short but stable buckles that help kids buckle independently.
• Three across: Not recommended; ADX does not fit three child seats across the rear bench.

Baton Rouge tip: If you plan a forward-facing seat in the center, try both LATCH and seat-belt installs and check sightlines. Many families choose an outboard position to avoid the ceiling-tether view obstruction.

LATCH and Tethers: What Parents Should Know

ADX provides two sets of lower anchors (outboard) that are clearly exposed with easy access. Top tether anchors for those outboard seats are mid-seatback and easy to reach. The center-seat tether mounts to the ceiling; it is safe and approved, but when engaged it can intrude into your rear-view sightline.

Infant and Rear-Facing Convertible

Both installs are straightforward thanks to accessible anchors and a rear bench that works well with seat bases. In testing, a shorter front passenger (around 5'6") retained comfortable legroom even with rear-facing seats installed, which is helpful for daily school runs and I-10 trips.

Forward-Facing Convertible

With the head restraint raised, fit is good and installation is easy. If the center-seat tether hampers your view, use an outboard position or ask our team to help you choose the best configuration for your family.

Booster Seat

After raising the head restraint, the booster sits well. The ADX buckles are short but stable, which typically helps kids buckle themselves without the buckle sinking into the seat.

Can I Fit Three Car Seats?

Three across did not work in the ADX. If you need that flexibility, consider the Acura MDX three-row, or plan seating so larger seats do not compete for buckle access.

Safety Reminders

• LATCH has a combined 65 lb limit (child plus seat). Above that, install with a seat belt and use the top tether for forward-facing seats when required.
• Confirm every install with a one-inch-or-less movement check at the belt path.
• When in doubt, ask a CPST (Child Passenger Safety Technician).
