Does it matter if newborn car seat is in middle of the back seat vs one of the side seats?

Question

Answer

The middle is the safest, if your vehicle allows it to be installed correctly. Not all of them do. The owners manual for the vehicle should tell you which seats in the vehicle can be used safely for a child’s car seat.

Answer

The middle is the safest but the sides are still acceptable.

Answer

I just wanna say thanks for asking this! I'm being induced Friday and I wondered this myself.

Answer

Personally I'm pregnant with my 1st and I'm getting induced Sunday and I'm having mine in the middle due to if we were to get hit on either side it wouldnt hurt the baby and if it was too it wouldnt be as bad if they were on the left or right.

Answer

The middle seat is the safest- it is the furthest point away from any airbags or possible point of impact should you be in a collision.
