When choosing a family vehicle, options seem endless with each brand offering an assortment of sedans, crossovers, SUVs and minivans. But, when you hone-in on safety, certain makes and models fall to the wayside simply because they lack the protective features that matter to moms and dads most.
One mainstay is the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder. Not only is this platform spacious and capable for larger families, but it was also just recognized as a 10 Best Family Car of 2019 by Parents magazine.
Earning a top spot in the Best Three-Row SUVs category, the reviewers at the publication hailed the Pathfinder for its patented rear-door alert system, which was designed by two Nissan moms and engineers. This system uses a series of honks to remind drivers to check the back seat for children or pets before walking away from the vehicle. Parents magazine also highly-regarded the SUV’s Intelligent Around View Monitor (I-AVM), which provides a 360-degree view to uncover objects that would otherwise be hidden in a blind spot. With protective features like these, it’s no wonder why this platform is a top choice with Seattle families.
