Which seat takes a car seat, and how it installs.
Lower LATCH anchors are split across the rows — the map below shows exactly which seats have lower anchors, which are top-tether only, and which have no hardware at all.
Lower anchors up to 65 lb combined
Use the lower anchors until the child plus the car seat weighs 65 lb, then switch to the seat belt with the top tether.

Does the 2026 Hyundai Palisade have LATCH anchors in the third row?
Lower LATCH anchors in the third row are at the left and right positions, according to an IIHS listing rather than the manual. Top tether anchors are at all three positions, in part from an IIHS listing rather than the manual.
Where are the lower LATCH anchors in the 2026 Hyundai Palisade?
Lower anchors are at: second row left; second row right; third row left; third row right. Positions without lower anchors take a car seat via the seat belt (with the top tether where available).
Can I install a car seat in the middle (center) seat of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade?
Not with LATCH. The manual prohibits using the outboard anchors for the second-row center seat — install there with the seat belt and the top tether.
Is there a weight limit for the LATCH lower anchors in the 2026 Hyundai Palisade?
Yes. Use the lower anchors until the combined weight of the child plus the car seat reaches 65 lb. Above that, switch to the seat belt with the top tether.
