Car seat in the middle?

Question

Heard car seat needs to go in the middle now in case of getting hit on either side???

Answer

Actually you all are so damn judgmental it's ridiculous, maybe you all should take a car seat installation class! Some cars are best for the car seat to be on sides and some are best for them to be in the middle....it depends on the year and type of car. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SAYING MOMS ARE LAZY BY PLACING IT ON THE SIDE!!!!!!

Thanks! Have a great day 😀

Answer

Your car manual will have the guidelines for the safest place and way to install the car seat. Your local fire department will often check your car seat installation for you for free. It is important it is installed correctly.

Answer

The middle is the safest. Can't stand that I know so many lazy moms that put the child on one side for their convenience of getting them in and out! Convenience or saftety? Hello! I hate that since this is my 2nd I can't fit one kid in the middle of my car. I have to put one on each side.

Answer

Not all middle seats work for car seats, FYI. And typically no one is actually thinking of it being more convenient. Lol, everyone is so judgemental towards other moms.

Answer

My husband and I prefer to keep it in the middle for that exact reason. We don't care about it being easier on us. But, since this is our second our oldest is going on the side and her brother in the middle until we get something bigger. But it's up to you in the end.

Answer

Look for the anchors for installing the base. If the middle seat has its own anchors then it's fine to go there. If it doesn't then you will be taking 1 anchor from each of the side seats and that is not safe for baby. I got my car seat installed at the fire station and that was what I was told as I thought the middle was the safest as well! 😊

Answer

The safest place for your car seat is the place you can get the best install. I could get a great install in the middle, but if it would be tighter on the outside, that would have been best.

Answer

You can put it wherever you want, I've put mine on the side so it's easy to get bubs in and out

Answer

Just want to add that I was specifically talking about people I know that have said to me that they moved their child from the middle because the side was just easier, they didn't like climbing in to fasten their child. I wasn't talking about people with cars that the middle isn't the safest or a place you can't put a car seat.

Answer

I already have my niece and nephews car seats in my car so I'm trying to figure out where I'm gonna put my sons car seat because I have a ford focus so the back seats are smaller. I'll probably have to get my niece a booster seat and see if that works.
