However, I'm no expert on babies (thankfully

I've only seen them seated in the middle seat of cars/SUV's, but that could just be the parent's preference or due to space issue w/the seats.

Yes I agree with the dash comment as hitting a dash might be harder than hitting a front seat. Glass are laminated no?

It all depends on the size of the car. Many cars now don't even put LATCH on the center seat now as the side seats are not that much worse than the center based on new research.

The windshield, yes, but the others I don't think so.

Though, I'm sure shattered glass will reach anywhere in any car so that's a moot point.

Other than, "They say so." I can't really think of anything else for or against it.
