Safest place for carseat in a crossover

We just got an Enclave yesterday. It has the captains chairs in the second row. I am wondering where the safest place for the car seat is. Is it behind the driver side? There is also latch in the 3rd row but I can't imagine that being the safest place. Right now in my Camry, it is in the middle of the row. TIA Chat Icon

Re: Safest place for carseat in a crossover

If you have Captain's chairs in the 2nd row, you should put DC on the passenger side. That way, you aren't in traffic when putting DC in and out of the car (almost everyone winds up parking on the side of the road at some point, even if it's just for visiting a friend's party, yard sale, etc).
It's also statistically the location that gets impacted the least in collisions.

Always passenger side first. Less of chance getting hit on this side plus in/out on the driver side is a pita with traffic as golden suggested
