Safety

Rated a Top Safety Pick for 2009 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, there’s a lot to love about the Traverse’s safety features. The most notable feature, and the one my kids loved every time I put the car into Reverse, was the camera display in the rearview mirror. It was tiny but effective. The Traverse comes standard with side-impact and side curtain airbags that extend through the third row. Antilock brakes and electronic stability and traction control are standard. All-wheel drive is optional. FAMILY LIFESTAGE In Diapers: Reclining feature on center seats will make installing child-safety seats a breeze. In School: There was lots of room for everyone without any complaints, and the rear entertainment system was easy to navigate. Teens: The second row moves back and forth to give teens plenty of legroom.
