If the vehicle has two rows, the middle of the back seat. If the vehicle has 3 rows, the middle of the second seat. And that just about says it all. Even with side impact protection, airbags, door beams etc, the safest place for any child seat is as far as possible from the potential impact. The absolute middle fo the vehicle is ideal. The above answers are correct. However, it is not always possible to put the seat in the center position. Some vehicles prohibit the use of the center position for a carseat (IE Chevy Blazer), so ALWAYS double check your vehical owners manual. Also sometimes the carseat won't fit well in the center position, so in such a case you would try it in the outboard positions. If it fits there better then in the center, it is better to have the seat in the outboard position. A great fit outboard is better then a poor fit center.

The most important part of safety for your child and the seat you choose is the fit of the seat into your automobile and your child into the seat. There are several models that are recommended but it is advised that you consult an expert in what style would be best for your automobile and child before making a purchase. I would begin with your local police station for advice. I would purchase from the safety first web site for the seat you choose. www.safety1st.com

The most important part of safety in car seats is the fit. The safety seat needs to fit your automobile and your child.

I would begin with Safety 1st, Graco and Snug Ride. They seem to be the best choices.
The child, if she/he is under twelve years old (age may vary by state/region) and generally 4'9" in height (about 148 cm) then they should be in the back seat, regardless of airbags or not. The back seat is the safest place for a child since they are the most protected there.

Not in the front but middle area so if any accident occur the child will not get much damage
Generally, it is recommended that parents should use a child safety seat for children 8 years old and below or until they can be properly restrained by the vehicle's seat belt. Infants (new born to 1 year old) should use rear-facing child safety seats, a child not above 4 years old and 40 pounds should be seated in a forward-facing child safety seat, while a booster seat is required until a child is 8 years old.
Usually, that's up to the driver / parents' discretion. The safest place for a child is always the back seat. However, if he or she is big enough for the seat belt to hold him or her in the proper position, it'll be OK.
