Where is your carseat? Clicky

I have a big car and was surprised that my convertible won't fit in the middle! Is this common? I am feeling guilty.[Poll]

Ours is on the driver's side...it won't fit in the middle. And I drive a CR-V!

CarlaAndJames · June 2012

i voted middle, but we have 2. Middle in my car, passenger side on DH's car.

egpitt22 · June 2012

I voted behind the passenger seat, we have 2 car seats in a Nissan Sentra, so no one gets the middle spot

(at least not until all of my dreams come true and our other car dies, forcing us to buy a minivan!) Big Smile

We have a mini-van, and they're each in a convertible car seat in the middle bucket seats.

We are still using the infant seat (snugride 35 and she is still probably under 20 lbs.), however, it is in the middle.

Infant seat in the middle.

I can't answer this because I have two kids in carseats. My toddler is behind the driver and the baby is behind the passenger.

I drive a big 4 door Ford F-150 and it's behind the passenger seat as per the recommendation in the owner's manual.

We have a Nissan Altima and a Honda Civic and per our owner manuals both are behind the passenger seat.

I have a compact SUV (Ford Escape) and I have her car seat in the middle of the back seat. I have to actually get in the back seat and sit down in order to get her into the seat, but it's not really a big deal.

Passenger side because there is on middle seat in the back of my car.

JuneBugsMommy · June 2012

We're still using the infant seat which is in the middle and plan on putting the convertible seat in the middle as long as it fits.

CarlaAndJames · June 2012

I will say its making me nervous having ours on the passenger side now. The accident I was in last week (totaled my car) the impact was directly where the carseat would have been if it had been DH's car. (her seat was in the middle in my car, and she wasn't in the car anyway)

I still think it's probably the best place, but after that accident I can see what they say about it not being the safest place since that's where your instinct is to take impact in a wreck.

I drive a CR-V too, what kind of convertible do you have?

OpheliaChem · June 2012

We have the Graco Cuddle. DH's seat is back far enough that her seat won't fit in. In fact, her infant seat barely fit and was snug against the corner of the passenger seat. She fits fine behind my seat because I'm short and I have my seat moved up.

SarahP15 · June 2012

The convertible is behind the driver seat and the infant is behind the passenger seat.

MouseInLux · June 2012

We can't put ours in the middle and if it's behind the driver DH can't drive so it's behind the passenger seat.

ShandaB · June 2012

DS car seat is behind the passenger seat. I'm so short that I would have an extremely hard time getting him in and out of the middle. I didn't have a problem when he was in the infant carrier because I could sort of use momentum (sp?) to get it into the base.

Nige!!a · June 2012

Ours could fit in the middle (Pilot) but I prefer to use the Latch. Also DS sits FF behind the drivers seat and I don't want him to be able to reach DD who RF's.

jen&jay07 · June 2012

Although I would love for his covertable to be in the middle, our Jeep Liberty is not Latch equiped to do so. For now he is behind the passanger seat. The guy that installed it is looking into ways that we could possibly move it to the middle.

lovebugkim · June 2012

I couldn't vote because I've never really had a choice since day 1. We have a car seat on the driver's & passengers side of both cars.

JuneBug0611 · June 2012

I have a compact but am lucky that our convertible seat fits in the middle and up front DH and I still have enough legroom to be comfortable. I guess we got the right size convertible! It is difficult to get her in and out, but well worth the trouble knowing she is in the safest place we can put her.

Andie_83 · June 2012

We have 2 SUV's and the bases are currently on the passenger side in both (soon to be replaced by convertible seats).

RobinSparkles81 · June 2012

our doesn't fit in the middle either and if I put it behind me RF I'd have my seat way to far up, so behind the passenger side until she's forward facing

Same for us.

AlyciaandRich · June 2012

I have to put it in the middle because otherwise no one can sit in the other seats as they have to be pushed to far forward! I drive a ford focus. We will have to invest in a bigger car when we decide on having another child.
