Safety

The GLK350 sports all the active safety systems you'd expect in a modern mom's car (especially a Mercedes): six airbags - including dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags and side curtain airbags for both rows - stability control, traction control, a brake assist system, antilock brakes, active front head restraints and more.

Let me catch my breath...

If you're in the mood for a macked-out Benz complete with matching child-safety seats, you're in luck. You can order Mercedes-Benz-branded infant, toddler or booster seats to complete the safety-chic ensemble when you buy your new GLK.

FAMILY LIFESTAGE

In Diapers: There's enough room for rear-facing infant-safety seats.

In School: There's loads of cargo space for backpacks, sports gear and more.

Teens: They'd be happy to roll up to school in this Benz.
