I don’t think it matters. My car seat is behind the passenger side because I drive a mini and it’s easier to get him from this side… hubbys car seat is behind the driver side.
But I also use my Doona in the front passenger seat and disable the air bags… it’s completely up to you.

Some people will say it’s “safer” for the car seat to go behind the passenger seat. That’s where my daughters is put but when my second comes in February hers will be moved behind my seat and the baby’s will be behind the passenger seat

According to big bang theory behind the drivers seat because you’re more likely to save yourself! But if you have 2 kids there’s one on each side anyway 🤷🏻♀️

In all the cars my LO travels in she's behind passenger side. Statistics say they're slightly safer, I believe the driver should get to choose exactly where their seat is as its important to be comfortable while driving and the seat can interfere. And where we park at home tends to make that the side toward the pavement. But the choice is individual and probably car dependant xx

It doesn’t matter

It's actually advised to go in rhe middle if you can but overall I would go passenger side if I didn't have 6 babies .

Behind the drivers side because while I’m really tall the seat just fits. If hubby is sitting in the car he can’t get in with the seat behind my passenger side. In his car the seat his behind the passenger side

Should be passenger side, as if parking or pulling up on a road, you’d get them out at the pavement side rather than road side, but don’t think many park on roads now

I have mine behind my driver seat as I find it easier to get out of the car and go straight back to the door behind to get the baby, especially if parallel parked on a busy road
