It is safer to put the infant carseat in middle seat or side seat?

It's safest to put an infant car seat in the middle seat of the back if possible. This position is furthest from potential impact points in a side collision.

However, if the middle seat is unsuitable (e.g., because of the car's design or the presence of a center console), then a rear side seat is the next safest option. Always ensure the car seat is properly installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle's owner's manual.
