Safety
The Forte offers enough room in the second row to fit a rear-facing child-safety seat, and its Latch connectors are out in the open and easy to use. There's no digging between seat cushions to use them. The tether anchors were easy to find, too. My kids' booster seats fit well, too. However, the back seat's seat belt receptors are floppy, which can frustrate younger kids who are just learning how to buckle up by themselves.
The Forte comes with standard antilock brakes, an electronic stability system and traction control. Kia packed the Forte with dual-stage front-impact airbags, side-impact airbags for the front row and side curtain airbags for both rows. Nice. |
