So even if you have a latch you can use, if you will not being moving your seat between cars, it is best to use a seatbelt to anchor it than the latch. Absolute safest thing to do is middle seat, seatbelt anchor. Though not the most convenient. |

To your point, when we used the center seat while we were out of town, it was really inconvenient. Trying to get the baby out of the car while parked in between two other cars involved both my wife and I. Thanks for the info! |

Honda Accord > BMW 5 series > BMW X5. BMW as a brand has a lot of good qualities, but tons of space for hauling kids isn't one of them. Even the X7 doesn't have a great 3rd row. |

are you talking about these latches: OR these: we've been using ones from the first photo the past 2 yrs. thankfully, no accident. now our boy is 2 front facing using the seat belt. With another baby coming in Nov, our 2yr old is moving behind the driver side and a baby seat in the middle (will use the seatbelt this time). hopefully there will be room for the wife behind the passenger side. |

Using the seatbelt is not hard actually. We have Nuna Rava and it makes it dead simple to put the car seat on using a seatbelt (takes me only 1 min). One tip is to making sure to pull the seatbelt all the way out first and hear it click, then slowly releasing it to tighten (you will hear clicks).

We have the Graco DLX 4ever and I always recommend installing the car seat in the middle unless you have to have 2 car seats then one goes to the side and one stays in the middle. Right now there is plenty of room for 2 passengers to sit comfortably in the back next to the car seat on each side.
Also, no latch to be used and only seat belt. We have kept our 2 year old rear facing and plan on doing that until he is at least 3 or even 3.5 maybe…basically until he starts protesting it. I take no chances with my baby boy!!! |

In general its a no-no, but the first source is read your car manual to see if they allow it.

https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1533046 If you have one kid, I recommend the middle position using a seat belt install. Best is using a car seat with a seat belt locking mechanism. I've got Britax Advocate/Boulevard Clicktight. Most convertible seats will limit recline if behind the passenger seat.

We have the Clek Fllo. It's a great seat, but very bulky. Can't wait until I can turn it over, facing forward, because it takes quite a lot of room facing backwards - it's not comfortable for the passenger in front.
