I have a Saturn Vue and am going to be having another baby, I have been told by my car seat inspector that the only safe and correct place to install a forward facing car seat is in the center seat, however the vehicle is not wide enough to then fit an infant car seat next to it. I am not willing to compromise the safety of my children because Saturn cannot design a back seat to accommodate child car seats. I have had little help or suggestions about what can be done to remedy the situation and do not want to be stuck with a vehicle that is not safe for my family to be in.
