Car seat position in the car

I recently bought a Ford Escape and I was wondering if it is safe to place my rear facing seat on the back passenger side? I had my baby in the middle of my smaller sedan and it was very cramped back there that way. Now that we have a bigger suv I’d like to be able to put him on the passenger side for easy in and out access.
