Ard,
I don't think the LATCH system is necessarily "safer". However, since studies have found that most ppl do not correctly install baby seats in their cars, then the LATCH system is "safer" in that it's easier for ppl. And unfortunately, we all know the intelligence of most Americans. So, it's the better install method.

If the non-LATCH setup is done correctly, then of course it's as safe as a LATCH setup.

Precisely my point.

Well, you don't have to be a moron to install car seats improperly (as evidenced by those on here who are using center LATCH ). The nationwide statistic is that 90% of car seats are installed and/or used improperly, although it's arguable that 90% of the population is idiots

I guess since it's my first child, and I know nothing about this I'm in the 90% moronic percentile. I bet there are a few subjects that I may know more than you about. I wouldn't call you a moron for it. It is not your area of expertise. I'll leave it at that.

Does anyone know if BMW supports having three car seats on the 2nd row with X5? Would you also reference the source please? Thank you.
