middle in the back seat keeps baby safe from side impact car accidents and keeping the handle up on the carseat acts as a roll cage if you do flip

Yeah, I feel like my daughter's does rock a little.. Maybe I should try it behind the passenger. I use one of the forever car seats, that grows with baby, so I wonder if it'll fit well.. @mimiz

Don't do middle because I feel it will rock or easily flip I mean idk everyone does the placement differently whatever flows your boat

My doc recommended that it be backed into the car seat for extra snug

@showersoverflowers, oh.. That makes sense! I'm certain my daughter's seat is safely in the middle. I'll have to check with someone. Thank you !

@mimiz, what kind of car seat do you use?

@mimiz, i thought the seat isnt supposed to touch?

Behind the passenger so the seat can snug her car seat

If it is possible the middle is the safest but you have to be able to safely fit and secure the carseat in the middle for it to be beneficial. Otherwise the left side is second best. Stop by your local fire or police department for a check after you've installed it. Also, there are loads of free classes on child seat safety I recommend every new parent take

I always thought the middle was the safest! I'm going to ask her pediatrician today, so I'll let you know! @teambarnes

Really? I've seriously never heard that! Let me know what you find out though because I'm having another one and I'd like to be more informed this time around haha.

That's how I am, too! Hahah, but people keep telling me she's not suppose to be in the middle? So, I was confused. @teambarnes

I hated it but I did middle. It was sooo hard to get her in and out like that but I was too paranoid about car accidents with her being on either side lol.
