From Car and Driver November 2023 issue. Our production manager, Juli Burke, asked us an interesting question. Her parents-in-law were considering a new SUV and were dissatisfied with the firmness of the cushions in her BMW and Mercedes, and wanted to know which car seats were the most comfortable. We have a lot of questions about buying a car, and we usually have answers. Please post it in back issues or on our website. However, there is no definitive answer to this particular question. Sure, we address seat comfort in our reviews (we especially complain about uncomfortable seats), but it’s not our job to rank car seats.
