When DS was tiny - we had the capsule behind the passenger seat, and then his seat behind there - until we turned it around and made it forward facing - then we moved to the centre seat. Reason for this was it was too hard for me to reach over when driving to get to him behind the passenger seat - plus I didn't like the idea of being in an accident - there were no side airbags in our car. I didn't worry about things coming through the windscreen as much as I did with people ramming the side of my car.

At the moment - he is behind the drivers' seat - and DD is behind the passenger seat. I don't particularly like this arrangement - but its the best we can do in the circumstances..
