It helps that the 2024 Ioniw 5 is an Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick award winner. It received a ‘Good’ rating in most of its standard crash tests, which is the highest score possible.

The child seat anchors earned an Acceptable score because in some instances the tethers were found too deep in the seats.

But they are easy to find, attach, and manuever. They aren’t easily confused with other hardware either.

The seatbelts reminders have a Good score for having a good initiation time, audio level, and a long enough duration time.
