The 2025 Ford F-150 takes three car seats across on the SuperCrew cab Cars.com tested. Cars.com's grades: A for LATCH, the infant seat, the rear-facing convertible and the booster; B for the forward-facing convertible.

Before you buy this vehicle. Cars.com found the top tether anchors are unlabeled loops hidden behind the head restraints, and concluded that caregivers installing car seats are unlikely to figure out the routing on their own.

Fit grades from Cars.com's Car Seat Check, conducted by Cars.com editors, including a certified car seat technician. Cars.com's check was written about the 2024 Ford F-150; Cars.com says little has changed for 2025.

What to check in your Ford F-150

  • Which cab you have. Cars.com's three-across result is for the configuration it tested (SuperCrew cab, tested in Platinum trim).
  • The middle position. Cars.com's check lists two sets of lower anchors on this bench, so plan for a seat belt install in the middle and confirm your seat's manual covers it.
  • Your bench width. Measure door panel to door panel at cushion height and compare it with the three widths added together. Treat a close result as a maybe, since shells and buckles can overlap or interfere.
  • Booster buckles. Cars.com graded the booster A: the middle and passenger-side buckles are rigid and sit high enough for kids to use on their own, while the driver's-side buckle is floppy. Plan a booster for the middle or passenger side.

Widths: manufacturer spec, widest point, from our product listings or the manufacturer's page. Prices update automatically from our store.

The grades at a glance

Test Grade
LATCH A
Infant seat A
Rear-facing convertible A
Forward-facing convertible B
Booster A

Where the anchors are

Lower anchors. Two sets, exposed for easy access and connection.

Top tether anchors. Three, sitting behind the head restraints and unlabeled. Cars.com describes the setup: the car seat's tether strap is routed through the loop closest to the car seat and then connected to the loop for the seating position next to it. The routing is not obvious, so read the owner's manual before you install.

Installing an infant seat

Easy to install, and the 5-foot-6-inch front passenger had plenty of legroom with the seat behind them.

Installing a convertible

The rear-facing convertible went in without problems, with ample front passenger legroom.

A B. After Cars.com removed the head restraint the convertible fit well, and the lower anchors gave no trouble, but Cars.com needed the owner's manual to figure out the truck's top tether setup.

Check your vehicle manual before removing or adjusting a head restraint: not every restraint is designed to come out. Your car seat manual says what the seat needs from the vehicle seat behind it.

Boosters and the buckle-yourself years

Cars.com removed the head restraint and graded the booster A, with one placement rule: put it in the middle or passenger-side position, where the buckles are rigid and sit high enough for kids to use on their own. The driver's-side buckle is floppy and will likely be tough for kids to use without an adult's help.

Three car seats across

Yes, on the SuperCrew cab Cars.com tested. The narrowest combination we stock for a newborn, a toddler and a big kid is Romer Juni Infant Car Seat with Versa Base (16.9"), Romer Veni Convertible Car Seat (17.0"), UPPAbaby Alta V2 Booster Seat (17.5"), totalling 51.4". Measure your bench between the door panels at seat-cushion height before you buy, because that total has no allowance for shell overlap.
