Where do most of you have your child's carseat in your car?

Question

middle, drivers side, or passenger side?

Answer 1

Middle but a lot of people I know have them on the sides. Personally, I think it's safer in the middle in case of any side-impacted car accidents.

Answer 2

In my car and grandma's car it's in the middle and in dad and grandpa's car it is behind the passenger seats...i think it depends on the car where you can and can't put it?? I don't think it matters though.

Answer 3

My 4 year old is in the Regent on the Drivers side, and my 21 month old is in the Marathon on the passenger side.

With 2 big Britax seats, I unfortunately do not have any room in the center anymore.

Answer 4

I have him behind me (driver's side) supposedly it's the safest in the vehicle. I have a mirror so I can look at him.

Answer 8

when we just had our son it was in the middle cause it is safer in an accident. but now we just had our daughter so my daughter (2 mos) is behind the driver side (cause im usually the passenger so its easier for me to attend to her) and my son (3 yrs.) seats behind the passenger. i hate it though we have a sedan and i hope soon we can get an SUV.

In the middle section on the left side of the seat but it's in the middle of the car because it's only a 2 seater bench

Answer 11

Usually in the middle if its in my car and in the suv it's on the drivers side. Someone told me that the passenger side is called the "death" seat for babies. I'm not sure I believe that but just to be on the safe side....

Answer 14

Passanger side.  The middle would be my first paick but it just doesn't work out that way bc of my other two booster seats.  Middle is the best though.

Answer 15

the middle

Answer 16

I drive a minivan & my sons seat is usually behind the passenger seat.I can turn around and see him & we like it best.The seat doesn't have a middle anyways.

Answer 17

passenger's side, back seat. the middle is safest, but unfortunately, in my car, it isn't a tight fit at all and the seat slides around a ton in the middle. in the passenger's side back seat, it doesn't slide at all. i would suggest trying the middle first, and if it doesn't slide, then leave it there, because it is the safest place for the child to be in case of an accident.  

Answer 18

Since I have an SUV I will properly have mine in the back passenger side.

Answer 19

I'm assuming you mean if you only have one child?  When I had one child it was in the middle, but in my husband's car it was behind the passenger side because he had a tiny car.  Now, I have one on each side.

Answer 20

middle  

Answer 21

Behind the passenger seat so we can see each other best!

In the middle because it fits best there and its safer to me.

Answer 23

In the back, passenger side - mostly because you need the seat too far forward for my driving position

Answer 24

Answer 25

In the middle seat.

Answer 26

behind the passenger seat. the seatbelts on the sides are stronger then the middle, plus  i can turn and see him easier as well as thru may rearview

Answer 27

I have two boys so I have one on both sides.  When I only had one child it was in the middle because it is safer if you get into an accident.

Answer 28

Up until a few days ago, my son's car seat was behind the driver's seat.  It's now in the middle.  I didn't know that there was a separate set of UAS hooks for the middle seat and that's why I had never put it there.  It's a little more work to get him in and out but I feel it's the safest spot in the event of a collision.

Answer 29

in the middle and sometimes the drivers side

Answer 30

When I only had one baby the rear facing went in the middle, now that I have 3, I have the oldest in the middle, and the younger 2 on the outsides, It's easiest that way.
