We have twins so we have no choice but to use the two outboard positions. We did buy high quality Recaro child seats with side impact protection. Car seats that meet European standards are far safer than many of the US seats. Go to elitecarseats.com...they offer many high quality car seats, including the Recaro Young Sport seats we bought.

The recaros are very easy to buckle and we just converted them to booster seats. The seats come with a center pad on the buckles that is annoying and we threw away the center pads the first week. Our seats are two years old so there may be better options out there now. elitecarseats.com is a great place to buy...there are plenty of reviews for each seat and you can sort the reviews by high and low reviews and get the good and the bad info on each seat.
