Its legroom increased by several inches, to be able to comfortably install two child-safety seats in the new Nissan Murano, according to Cars.com.
There are advantages and disadvantages with the new Murano. It was easier to install the convertible in forward- and rear-facing modes where it is easier to connect the latches. From both directions, the convertible had enough room and there was no need to move the front passenger seat forward just to make room for it in rear-facing mode.
The outboard buckles are on sturdy fit which made it easier for children to buckle up on ther own. The middle seat's buckle is on a short stalk and sinks into the leather seat crease. Children however may struggle a bit to connect to it. When adding the rear-facing infant seat, the front passenger seat needs to move up a bit to be able to fit it nicely. There was still a good and comfortable amount of legroom in the front seat left, Nissan USA reported.
There are plenty of room for the car seat and the child with this new Murano model. The kids carseats does not affect on the driver or front-passenger legrooms. Also, it is easy to find and connect to latch and tether anchors.
More to add is an easy access to the third row seats, plus there is no fit issues that involves head restraint or seat contouring.
