TO PROPERLY INSTALL A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE REAR ON EITHER SIDE ( I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND CANNOT USE THE CENTER) THE SEAT HAS TO BE ALMOST ALL THE WAY BY THE DOOR BECAUSE OF WHERE THE LATCHES ARE POSITIONED IN THE REAR, WHICH SEEMS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE THEM THAT CLOSE TO THE DOORS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH FOUR DIFFRENT CHILD SEATS AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEM ALL.
