Seven days spent with America's newest muscle car as a daily driver

The Parent Test

It doesn't take an expert to tell you the Camaro isn't a family car, but there are plenty of parents out there who would love just an ounce of justification to buy one, so here goes. Using the LATCH system, our tester was able to install a car seat in one minute and nineteen seconds (albeit sans screaming kid). He remarked due to the cramped space, installation was awkward, and the lack of a center rear seat made him a bit nervous as he likes the option of placing a child away from the vehicle sides. That said, the Camaro does come with child seat-friendly rear curtain side airbags (as opposed to chest mounted), and our tester said the driver proximity to the rear seat was a plus. As an aside, there wasn't a kid we drove by that didn't drop their jaw, point, or yell "Bumblebee!" when they saw the Camaro, so this car will win major points from your kids even if it isn't the most convenient option for transporting them around.

The Verdict: Those in the car seat and stroller stage probably should look elsewhere, 4-years old and above could work (but only if you had a more capable option for a second vehicle).
