Hi I have a new baby on the way soon. I am having trouble finding information on the best position to install the Graco Click Connect 30 car seat for this type of vehicle. Should it be the middle seat or the side? Also does anyone know if I will need a seat belt lock?Unfortunately I dont have an owners manual for the car.

Hi there.

The middle is statistically safest, all things being equal.

Your seat came with a locking clip, and very likely you'll need to use it.

This video is demonstrating how to use a locking clip, and it's actually using a Click Connect base. :)

Have you already purchased your seat? I only ask because it may be worth a little extra to look into the LX version, or the LX base for that car if you have two vehicles and will be purchasing an extra base. It has a built in lock-off for the seatbelt, which means you would not need to use the locking clip. It makes things much easier!

ETA: Oh, also, does the rear middle seat have a shoulder belt or a lap belt only? If it is a lap belt only, it may have a locking latch plate on the buckle. The buckle piece on the seatbelt doesn't move freely, but locks into place when it is pulled tight. You should be able to install in that position without a locking clip or lock-off. Beware, though, because in our 1999 minivan, the locking latch plate doesn't seem to stay as tight as I am comfortable with, so I still use the lock-offs on our infant base as extra reassurance.

Hi Wendy and rin2809,

Thank you so much for your quick reply. This makes me feel much better about being able to install the seat correctly for our little girl! I did buy an LX base for our second car. I will make sure to use that for our Camry then. Our other car has the Latch feature so I'll use the regular base for that one. Thank you again! Have a great day.
