Question Side impact protection

I have read that side impact protection is not as important in a harnessed seat as it is a booster - but since i have some seats with TSIP and others that do not, i figured i should ask where maybe the best placement of my seats in which vehicles would be - the seats and vehicles are in my siggy with the exception of the FF MA in the F150 is being replaced by a Frontier as soon as it shows up:) None of my cars have side/side curtain air bags - i was thinking that the malibu should probably have the 2 BLVDS, and then maybe the van with the Frontier and a MA because they sit in the middle row and the MA could be on the bench seat in the "middle" not really close to the side of the van, and then maybe the TF and the other MA in the truck because its so high up ff the ground - does this make sense or is there a better figuration of seats/vehicles as far as side impact is concerned?

And rearfacing is SO safe even without TSIP on the seat, that you need to factor that into your arrangement questions (which, it's kind of late, my brain is shutting down, lol, but I thought I'd toss that extra variable in for you to consider :D) (In general? I put my safest seats in my least safe cars/seating positions whenever possible ...)
