We have a 3 in 1 seat. Rear facing. Forward facing and then booster. You're supposed to (according to instructions and regulation put out by the government of Canada) keep your child rear facing for as long as possible. Supposed to be safest that way.

You seem to be acting like he is just planning on duct taping the kid to the roof or something.

I went and looked through both instruction manuals that we have for both of our baby seats. The first seat is a "bucket" style that clips into a base. The second seat is an Eddie Bauer 3 in 1. Both manuals have identical safety instructions, and both say to position the seat either on the passenger or driver side. They also both say to
not use the middle.

2. Looks like you're the one not reading instructions. It's absolutely safe to put the child seat in the middle, and almost every place out there actually recommends doing, it if possible. The car and seat instructions clearly indicate options of doing both, just with different ways of attaching (using Latch on the sides, and seatbelt in the middle).

Read my above response. If I could take a pic of the instructions and show you guys, I would...but I'm at work now.
If anyone can prove me wrong, then please do. I won't mind. I'm just saying that all of the instructions, manuals and reading I've done has always said to not use the middle.
Sorry about being "Mrs. Lovejoy." Was just kind of shocked to hear about people using the middle, based on what I know.
WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!?!!?
