    Anyone else have a booster and the ability to put it in any position?

    If so, where do you think the best spot is?

    Middle seems good from the kid's point of view -- good visibility through the front, and is supposed to be the safest. Also nice if I'm driving folks for lunch (yes, I'll be volunteering to drive whenever I have a chance!!!)

    Side seems better for the seat being the most stable, at least for our booster seat. Also the height of the seat back seems to block my rear visibility a bit more in the middle than I think it will on the side.

    Thoughts?

    We prefer the middle, for safety's sake.

    Our daughter likes to see the screen (especially with NAV in operation) and she can see forward better. She likes that as well.

    In the middle, there is less kicking of the front seats.

    The only problem I see is that the seat belt binds sometimes because the return slot is shaped in a T pattern, and the belt sometimes gets stuck in the base of the T.

    Also be careful of covering that vent. The last thing you want to do is overheat your battery!
