Quick Q for Britax Marathon Owners...I have a toyota camry

Where is the safest place to put it - behind the seats (right or left) or in the center? It doesn't say on the manual?

DS is 8 mos if that matters...TIA Chat Icon

I believe it also depends on the car you have. If you read your car's manual, they have recommendations. We have a CR-V and it says to place it behind the passenger seat.

Also have that car seat.. i dont have a bench seat in the back so I keep it behind the passenger seat.

If I do take it out and put it in another car I usually put it in the same spot, I thought thats where it usually goes? I guess it depends..?

We have ours on either side.

The seats in the Camry are a bit contoured so I'm not sure if it will work in the middle, you'd also have to reach in a bit. As it is, rear facing, I have to be careful of the clearance and not hit DC's heads due to the countour of the door.
