Which position in the car is safest for baby's car seat?

Best Answers

Put the newborn in the center rear seating position as the baby is the most vulnerable in a crash. Put an older forward-facing child, assuming the older child is forward facing, in the center seat since rear-facing children are inherently 5 times safer in their rear-facing seat. read more

Researchers also found use of the center position decreased as the child got older. For example, 39% of baby car seats for infants under age 1 were placed in the center rear seat vs. 18% of child car seats for 3-year-olds, regardless of any additional passengers in the rear seat. read more

According to the research the safest spot for a baby car seat is in the center of the back seat. Although placement in any rear seating position provides excellent protection, but those in the center have the lowest risk of injury than on the sides. read more

The safest place for your child to sit in a car is in a correctly fitted child restraint in the back seat. It's illegal for a child under four to sit in the front seat of a car with two rows or more. A child between the ages of four and seven can only sit in the front seat if all back seats are occupied by younger children. read more
