Best position for car seat in vehicle?!

Question

Answer

I put the seat behind the driver since it’s literally the safest place in a vehicle...... in the event of accident the driver will instinctually swerve to save his or her own life not the passengers 
That being said I plan to put my 6year olds booster seat behind the driver and the baby car seat behind the passenger because the baby has more protection than my older daughter would 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I think they say that the middle is safest. However, I have bucket seats so no middle seat. Plus, it would be a pain to get baby in and out of the middle seat. I had my 1st baby on the driver side bc its easier for me to see her in the rearview mirror and that way i dont have to go around on the other side of the car to get her in and out. I'll be moving her to the passenger side soon so baby will be on the driver side.

Answer

I actually got into a car accident where they hit us from the side and spun our car around facing opposite way, my son is big enough that he is no longer rear facing and luckily i didnt have him in the middle anymore he was behind my husband who was driving , the car was hit on my side at the passenger door the car door was pushed against me my window , side mirror all shattered and shot into the car lots of glass made it into the back and the side mirror, never not once hit my son. He came out with out a scratch. Our insurance investigated and it wasnt our fault and the other people lied about who was driving to the police. Terrible situation but im acctually glad he was behind my husband because everything hit me coming in. Could always be different. What if something had come through the windshield straight through the middle?

Answer

All things being even the middle is 40% safer IF you can get a correct install in the middle. If not then the safest place would be either side seat. Read your cars and car seat manuals and determine if the middle would be best or if the sides would be best. “Car seats for the littles” on Facebook can help a lot.

Answer

Typically middle, but check both your car seat manual and your cars manual to see if that’s allowed. We wanted to use LATCH instead of seatbelts and our vehicle doesn’t allow LATCH use in the middle seat. Check out the FB group Car Seat Safety For the Littles if you get stuck! They are great with giving information on specific car seats and specific cars since the group is managed by certified techs.

Answer

Middle is safest because if you're hit from the side there is less chance of them receiving direct impact. Other than that though it's about convenience. The seat will be just as secure in any seat.
