car seat install help!!

Is it safer to be in the center with a seat belt or the side with the latch? Thoughts?

Assuming you can get a good installation, center is safer. While side impacts are relatively rare, they tend to be quite severe, because there is no "crumple zone." Putting the child in the center gives more space between a potential impact and that child.

LATCH is supposed to be easier (it isn't always), but it isn't any safer than a seatbelt, as long as the seat is installed correctly.
