So, my 3yo needs to turn FF since she's rapidly nearing the limits of her seat. I have a 2007 Odyssey with the Plus-One seat that makes it an 8 passenger. I really like having all three of my kids in the center row (3yo DD, 9mo twins). I'd strongly prefer to have DD FF in the center position for a variety of convenience reasons, and the seat fits great with a nice tight install there. However there's no tether point for the top tether. But the center is safer by like 25% than outboard, all else being equal. I know tethers are safer than not, but I don't know by how much. So which is safer? And by how much? How reasonable would it be to put her in the center? Does it make a difference if it would keep her brothers from screaming as much in the car (she is super awesome about entertaining them) and that I wouldn't be handing stuff to them as much while driving?
Stats, if it matters:
car: 2007 Honda Odyssey EX
kid: 3y3m old, 39" tall, 38lbs
seat: Either a TrueFit (classic version and my first choice for her) or a Complete Air 65. If it made a difference I'd be willing to buy her a new seat to have her in the center.
