As shown in the pictures:
The rear seat bottom is a 60/40 split due to the underseat storage. The LATCH anchors for the center position is on the "60 side." As a result, when the infant seat is installed into the center position, the seat intrudes into the seating area for one of the outboard seats.
One potential solution is to skip the LATCH anchors altogether and to just use the seatbelt. This may allow me to better center the car seat on the rear bench and allow for two normal sized adults to sit on each side of the car seat.
However, a number of folks have warned me against this idea because the LATCH anchors are "safer." Not sure why? I appreciate any thoughts on this situation.
