Hello!
I'm about to convert my son from his infant car seat to a convertible one and I just purchased the diono rainier. I was having him in the backseat passenger side of the 4runner because quite honestly this is my first baby and no one really talked to me about where he should be sitting in the car. I would like to have him in the middle backseat of my 4runner but someone at babies r us told me some cars are specific not to have anyone in the middle seat based on crash rating. I tried looking it up in the owners manual and calling toyota itself but talked to some stupid sales man who tried to sell me the truck I already own... Clearly knew nothing about whether it's safe to put him in the middle. Does anyone else have a newer 4runner and put the baby in the middle seat? Even if there are no latches on that seat? The other two passenger sides have the latches. Thanks for your help!
