Wow, thanks for sharing your story! It’s such an unknown part of car seat safety and it can clearly save a life… !

When our children were small, myhusband was in an accident while driving alone. He was broadsided. The passenger side of the car was mashed so badly that my husband’s head hit it as he sat in the driver’s seat during the impact. Our baby’s car seat was in the middle, intact but full of glass. If our children had been in the car, the child by the door would have been dead
Ni often think about i as we almost went with him that day!

Thanks for sharing your experiences! Of course, the main thing is a safe install… It’s amazing that this subject is so neglected – so many people have told me that they had no idea it was ideal. Where it’s possible, it’s the easiest switch to make, no?

It stressed me out so much at first, and then I realized that when I had more kids, only one could be in the middle seat, and while the center was safest, having a great install was even more important. Now, we have a new vehicle, and she is in the center seat again. Her brother and the baby will be on the outer seats regardless of how we move things around, but at least I feel better now knowing that I Have them all in the safest spot possible. I have always been surprised that more carseat safety things don’t even include using the middle seat when possible.

One of my good friends is expecting, and I’ll definitely pass this valuable info onto her. I honestly had never thought about the middle being safer; it makes perfect sense, but most people I know have their kids’ seats on either side in the back. Thanks!

I always placed mine in the middle, for me it was just easier to see if the child needed attention for such things as choking or anything like that.

We forget how quickly and easy accidents happen and we can all use reminders of how to reduce risk. Glad you and your baby were ok!

It’s very neglected subject in the area of car seat safety – which is why I chose to focus on it in this article!
