3 car seats across - where to put infant seat?

If you put 3 across, where would you put the infant seat? When I google, it looks like people put it in the middle. I don't see how I could get the infant seat in and out of the middle whIle leaning over another car seat.

We have in the middle. Yes it is tougher to get in and out but its the best option for our car

Honestly, it depends on your car and what seats you have. Some don't puzzle well with others.

Technically the "least protected" Child is supposed to be in the middle. So if you have a booster rider it would be them. If you have foward facing harnessed kids it would be the younger one.

But again, it's usually more about where you can get the seats to install the best.

When I had 3 across, the infant seat was behind the driver. I had tried it in the middle and it was a huge pain because I had to force it into the base by wedging it under the sides of the other 2. And I was always worried about my twins doing something to the baby (one time he was crying and one of one of my kids stuck his dirty finger in his mouth to get him to stop crying). It was a nightmare.

Much better when we had them in different rows.
