Which side should I put the carseat?

Question

Hey ladies,
Do you think it matters what side I put the car seat? Passenger side or driver side?

Answer

Middle is best, but if it's not possible, I read that the next best is behind the driver. I read that most side impacts happen on the passenger side and it will be more convenient for you to not walk around the car every time.

Answer

I put mine in the middle, if anyone ever hits you from either side baby is clear and won't get the impact.

Answer

I had to put it in the passenger side because of the car seat and my car not allowing me to put it in the middle until she's forward facing. My drivers seat was too far back to fit there. I would suggest talking to a car seat specialist at the police or fire station

Answer

What if you have two kids ? XD I was thinking one in the middle and one behind driver but then they are so close and big brother may try to poke baby sister :/ idk ...

Answer

The Car Seat Lady website is super helpful and recommends the middle as the safest. But make sure you don't use the LATCH system if the distance between the LATCH hooks is too far apart for what your car seat requires. Mine is too far apart, so I had to use the middle seat belt, which is just as safe as the LATCH.

Answer

The middle is safest, if possible. Otherwise I would put the car seat behind the seat you sit the most often. My husband puts his seat back really far since he's 6'4". So if we ever move it to one side or the other we would move it behind the passenger seat since he's the one that drives when it's both of us in the car.

Answer

The middle is the safest place for the car seat
