Where are you installing your car seat and why?

Question

Answer

My husband was a state trooper and many officers in my family. When they are taught child car seat safety middle seat is the best. If you have captain seats in the second row behind the drivers seat is the next best. Then behind passenger is more last resort. Hope this helps!

Answer

My last two cars have not had the option for a middle seat  I like passenger side because you can open the door on a busy street on the passenger side. Also when the become toddlers it is easier to hand them things.

Answer

We have my toddler behind the driver and so the newborn will fit behind the passenger

Answer

My two kids have the passenger and drivers side as I refuse them to be in the middle incase of an accident, but baby will be in the middle as he will have a secured reverse facing car seat and is safe , so they’re all safe

Answer

Generally, the middle seat in the second/back row is the best choice. However, not every car can accommodate a car seat in the middle seat nor does every car have a middle seat in the second row. The best thing to do is read both the car seat manual and your car’s manual to determine where the best place to install the seat is.  Since we have toddler seats already, the baby seat will go on the drivers side due to space issues-we can’t fit the seat in the middle and we don’t have a middle spot in the other car.

Answer

Driver side. My daughter is six and used to be driver side, but with baby coming we had to move her to the right simply for school carline. I have an Elantra so baby’s car seat won’t fit in the middle with my oldest’s booster seat next to it.

Answer

Middle bc my toddler is behind the driver.

Answer

I’ve read that middle seat is the safest because if there’s an impact on either side, Baby is further away from it. I used to think that the middle seat wasn’t safe at all, but I was wrong

Answer

Middle of possible... if your car allows for it... check manual.... the safest spot in the car

Answer

Driver side because it will be easier to keep my toddler on the passenger (And curb) side.... I'm anticipating future resistance to being put in the car seat, she is 17 months old at the moment and I'm 35 wks pregnant...
In my husband's car the baby will be on the passenger side as the capsule won't fit behind the drivers seat seat because he is 6 foot 4 and has the seat all the way back...
