My solution... Car seat is in the middle, where it's inherently safer, though harder to put kid in.

Old story... Back in highschool I was in the left rear seat of a civic, the car spun out, hit a rock wall at my door, and the door folded, pinning my feet under the front seat, while my body was pushed towards the middle of the car.

Not only did I break the pelvis of the girl sitting next to me, where I had an 8" dia bruise on my hip. I also couldn't walk for 6 weeks, peeing in a bowl, having someone bath me, etc; I actually don't remember how I shat. ;-) . Then 4 weeks after that in crutches. Tore everything more or less important attached in my hip area.

So yeah, car seat in middle right now is where the kid sits today. We'll re-evaluate that later down the road when baby #2 comes around in Dec.
