2012 Chevrolet Sonic: Car Seat Check

12Sonic_CS1

With its aggressive looks, the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic certainly grabs attention in a way the forgettable Aveo, which the Sonic replaces, never did. While this all-new subcompact may not scream family car — it probably doesn't even whisper it — it could be a family's second car that occasionally has child-safety seats installed in it. The Sonic is available in sedan and hatchback body styles; we tested the sedan.

For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide 30 rear-facing infant-safety seat, a Britax Roundabout convertible child-safety seat and Graco high-back TurboBooster seat.

If you're shopping for an SUV that can tow your boat or camper and provide room for the family, the 2011 Durango makes a pretty strong case for itself. Even if you don't have anything to tow, the Durango's cruising comfort will be prized on road trips.
