Question

I am going car shopping and I need to know if it will be ok if I put a britax roundabout on the side of a car. We are looking at the Toyota Rav 4's. I need to know is it ok to put the booster seat on the side. I know the Rav 4 has a lot of airbages but none of them are close to where he will be sitting, they are kind of in back of him. The rav 4 has curtain airbags. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Check the owners manual.  You should be able to install the carseat in any of the rear seating locations.

Answer 2

I would not, the safest place for the car-seat and child will be in the middle of the back seat, it also has the best crunch zone protection.
