2020 Infiniti QX60 Car Seat Check: A Family-Friendly Luxury SUV
Introduction
The 2020 Infiniti QX60 continues to be a strong contender in the luxury three-row SUV segment. While it hasn’t seen significant updates in recent years, it remains a popular choice for families seeking a blend of comfort, space, and premium features. In this detailed review, we’ll explore the QX60’s car seat compatibility, Latch system, and overall family-friendly features to help you determine if it’s the right fit for your needs.
Car Seat Compatibility: Does the 2020 Infiniti QX60 Fit Three Car Seats?
One of the most critical considerations for families is whether a vehicle can accommodate multiple car seats. Unfortunately, the 2020 Infiniti QX60 falls short in this area. While it offers ample space for two car seats, fitting three car seats in the second row is not feasible. Here’s a breakdown of how the QX60 performs in our Car Seat Check:
- Third-Row Forward-Facing Convertible: After removing the head restraint, the seat fits well. However, there are no lower anchors in the third row, so the seat belt must be used for installation. The sole top tether anchor is located on the passenger-side seatback and is easy to access.

- Latch System: The second row features two sets of lower anchors set in cutouts in the upholstery. While they appear easy to access, they are buried and set high against the seat cushion, making installation challenging. The three top tethers on the seatbacks, however, are straightforward to use.
- Infant Seat: There’s plenty of room for the seat, but accessing the Latch anchors requires significant effort.
- Rear-Facing Convertible: This seat also fits well, with ample room for a 5-foot, 6-inch front passenger. However, accessing the Latch anchors remains a challenge.
- Forward-Facing Convertible: The seat fits well after removing the head restraint, but connecting it is not easy.
- Booster Seat: The booster fits well after raising the head restraint, but the buckles are flush with the seat cushion, making them difficult for children to use.

Third-Row Access and Usability
The 2020 Infiniti QX60 offers a spacious third row, but accessing it can be a bit of a challenge. The step-in height is tall, but the large opening, thanks to second-row seats that collapse and slide forward, makes entry easier. These seats also tilt and slide when a forward-facing car seat is installed, though not as far forward as one might hope.
In the third row, the booster seat fits well after removing the head restraint. However, the buckles are flush with the seat cushion, which could make them difficult for children to grasp and use independently.

Grading Scale and Overall Performance
Our Car Seat Check uses a grading scale to evaluate how well a vehicle accommodates car seats and child safety. Here’s how the 2020 Infiniti QX60 scored:
- A Grade: Third-row forward-facing convertible.
- B Grade: Latch system, infant seat, rear-facing convertible, forward-facing convertible, booster, third-row access, and third-row booster.
- C Grade: None.
While the QX60 performs well in many areas, the difficulty in accessing the Latch anchors and the inability to fit three car seats in the second row are notable drawbacks.
About MotorVero’s Car Seat Checks
At MotorVero, our team of certified child safety seat installation technicians conducts thorough Car Seat Checks to provide families with accurate and reliable information. For this review, we used a Graco SnugRide Classic Connect 30 infant-safety seat, a Britax Marathon convertible seat, and a Graco TurboBooster seat. The front seats were adjusted for a 6-foot driver and a shorter passenger, with the child seats installed in the second row.
We also tested the forward-facing convertible in the second row’s middle seat with the booster and infant seat in the outboard seats to determine if three car seats would fit. Additionally, we installed the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible in the third row to evaluate its usability.

Key Takeaways for Parents
Parents should keep in mind that they can use either the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat. However, it’s important to note that Latch anchors have a weight limit of 65 pounds, which includes the weight of the child and the seat itself. Always refer to your car seat and vehicle manuals for specific installation instructions and weight limits.
Conclusion
The 2020 Infiniti QX60 offers a compelling mix of luxury, comfort, and space, making it a strong contender in the three-row SUV market. However, its car seat compatibility has room for improvement, particularly in terms of accessing the Latch anchors and fitting three car seats. If you’re a family with one or two children, the QX60 could be an excellent choice. But for larger families, the lack of third-row lower anchors and the difficulty in accessing the Latch system may be significant drawbacks.
