2025 Nissan Pathfinder & Rogue Recognized for Child Safety by Cars.com

Peace of mind matters just as much as comfort and capability when drivers think about making family travel plans. That’s why drivers across the Capital Region continue to trust Nissan, a brand that proves, year after year, that safety isn’t just a feature, it’s a promise.

For the second consecutive year, the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder has been named one of Cars.com’s Best Cars for Car Seats, highlighting its thoughtful design and family-focused engineering. And it’s not alone, the 2025 Nissan Rogue also earned recognition as a Top Finisher, a new category created to spotlight vehicles that deliver outstanding results in child safety seat evaluations.

Out of 51 vehicles tested, the Pathfinder was one of just seven models to earn straight A’s across every category. Cars.com praised its easy-to-access third row, clearly marked LATCH anchors, and one-touch second-row release, details that make installing child seats simpler and safer. With removable head restraints that help car seats sit flush against the seatback and rear climate controls for comfort, the Pathfinder continues to make family life on the go easier than ever.

Nissan’s Rogue also impressed testers with its ample cabin space, easy-to-find anchors, and extra middle-seat LATCH point that offers flexibility as your family grows. It’s another example of Nissan’s commitment to designing vehicles that adapt to real life, whether you’re loading up for school drop-off, sports practice, or weekend road trips around upstate New York.

As the holiday season approaches, safety and comfort become even more important for families hitting the road. Between driving to Thanksgiving dinner, visiting loved ones across the state, or heading to the Adirondacks for a winter weekend, Nissan’s advanced safety technology, including features like Intelligent Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Automatic Braking, helps you travel with greater confidence. The Pathfinder and Rogue make long drives easier on parents and more enjoyable for kids, with available tri-zone climate control, ample cargo space, and seating for up to seven. From snowy drives to bustling parking lots, these SUVs are built to handle the season with calm, capable assurance.

Safety remains a defining strength across the Nissan lineup. Nissan’s Pathfinder continues to hold the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation for the fourth consecutive year, the highest honor awarded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Meanwhile, the Rogue boasts a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and top marks in every major crashworthiness test.
