Where would you put the baby?

In the middle row of an '05 Odyssey w/the passenger-side seat scooted to the middle position, here's what I've got currently:

DD3 (11 months) in Radian in passenger/middle capt chair
DD2 (3 years) in FF Marathon in driver's side capt chair

But I've been re-thinking things. Since rf-ing is safer, should I have the baby on the driver's side? This van does have side-curtain airbags. Will that do anything for a child in a carseat?

I'm just needing other peoples' thoughts on this. I originally put the baby in the middle because it's the safest position and she's the tiniest. But now I wonder if that's not the best thing.

What are all your thoughts?

ETA: my siggy pic isn't up-to-date....I've switched carseats around a bit....DD3's BLVD is now in dh's Civic and DD2 is in a new Brooke Marathon (YAY!)

Judi's right. Least protected child in most protected position is what we usually go for. As a bonus, it's easier to get a RF baby in their seat when they're outboard :D.
