3 kids car seat placement

I have a 2013 toyota highlander. Ive been searching online but not very helpful. I dont want to us the third row ive read very unsafe for kids every day. So I have an infant seat britax bsafe and right now 2 britax frontiers as boosters. Im willing to get smaller maybe Even at least one in backless booster (7). So for all three in 2 nd row should I put baby in middle or biggest in backless booster in middle ???? Thanks !

Just make sure you can get the baby in and out with the other car seats on the outside.  We couldn't.

Thanks everyone. Im thinking of doing that putting baby in between two older girls on outside. We dont use third row as seats usually and then groceries and stroller can go back there I think thats safest way but ill still have it checked :) thanks for the suggestion s

To my knowledge no kid that rides in a booster seat should he sitting in the front because of the airbags.  Kids should always be in the back, and middle is best, but sometimes u have to decide who should sit in the middle, and with a baby, I would think that baby is first priority.

It's true that the middle seat is the safest in the back,  but that's true whether it's the baby or the older kids.  The middle seat gets a space buffer in side impact.

I don't know what the standards are for 7 year olds.  Is your 7 year old able to ride in a front seat safely with a booster?

I believe that baby is safest in the middle.  But also must ensure above anything else that the all car seats are properly installed.
