We are taking a family road trip in the next coming month, and with the car seat in the middle row, it is such a tight squeeze for the other passengers. The third row of seating is also a very tight fit for two adults to sit for a long period of time. Is it safe to put the car seat in the third row (child is forward facing)?? Obviously safety is the most important thing, so we will work with what we need to, I was just curious.

They don't have top tethers in the back, so the 2nd row would be much safer for a forward facing car seat. Rear-facing it would be fine as long as the seat fits back there (it's a pretty scrunchy back seat).

What car seat are you using? Like the previous poster said, there are no top tethers in the third row. It is safe to put a forward facing seat back there, it is just safer to choose a spot with a top tether.
