In my compact car ('99 Honda Civic coupe) car seats don't fit in the middle at all for 2 reasons: There's a hump in the middle and I can't get seats tight there , and no one could sit in drivers or passenger side seats if if a seat was rear facing in the middle in the back. So I couldn't put my son there, and in my mom's car, where there's 2 kids, can't put either in the middle or they won't both fit. Here's the best way to put it: she's not unsafe in an outboard position, she's just safest in the middle.

But when we went to the older baby carseat, I moved her to the back passenger side. That way I could glance back at her if need be and I did not break my back getting her in and out. And I fit back there with her when we have extra passengers and someone has to ride in the back. My mom came with us to one Dr Appointment and I had to ride in the back with the infant seat in the middle. yeah, it is cramped. But I felt safest with her in the middle when she was a teeny baby. I had a mirror so that I could see her. But like I said, now that she is older, she is on the right side of the car. she likes it because she can look out the window.

It makes sense - it is going to be the least impacted whether there is a front, rear or side collision. Statistically, the middle of the back seat is the safest place in the car.

In the middle, there is less of a chance for baby to be hit. I would recommend buying a mirror that attaches to the back of the rear seats so that you can look in your rear view mirror into that mirror and see baby when she is in her rear-facing car seat. Plus, being in the middle, I find it easy to just reach back and pop that pacifier back in when she starts getting cranky and wants to take a nap. :) The safest is the middle, since an accident could occur where the side of the car is impacted.

Doctors will tell you though that the safest place for the baby is in the middle of the back sit just in case of a wreck or whatever. My daughter is 2 years old and she still sits in the middle and until I have another baby she will be in the middle then I will put the baby in the middle and her on the side.
