How well does a child seat fit in the center back seats?
I was all set to get a H3 and then I read about the child safety locks. With a new child on the way; I would hate to have something happen because of this. I figure if I place the child in the center rear seat; this should solve the problem.
How easy is it to place a child seat there; considering the cup holders are also there?
Also, what brand of child seats are you all using?
Thanks.

not sure if the H3 has more room than an H2, but the infant "bucket" car seat hit the back of the drivers seat in the bus. now that he's moved into a different seat, it fits fine. the newborn seats just need more room than the infant and toddler kinds. take one to the dealer and see how it fits, that way you'll know for sure.
personally, i think the child safety locks are overrated, i rolled out of my parents' station wagon, and i'm relatively abnormal. the new H3s will have them, so maybe you wanna wait a few months. or, better yet, buy an H2, they have safety locks for the back seats, and a 3rd row seat option with no doors beside it . . . . .

Seat fits well in the middle but I guess it depends on the car seat. I have an eddie baur (SP?) seat and I had to remove the seat base in order to make it fit securly in the H3. With the seat base on it was near impossible to remove all the side to side play of the car seat, once I removed it it was easy to secure tightly and hasn't needed any further tighening since. Only downside is that there is not room left in the back seat to COMFORTABLY sit an adult. My wife is small and she can fit back there but its a tight squeeze.

I agree that child safety locks are overrated, they are for parents that dont pay attention to the children

Well then if you truly believe that you are an idiot. How in gods name should a parent in the drivers seat supposed to keep a toddler from opening the door in the back...answer that? Don't compare the cars of today vs the cars we grew up in, the h3 rear doors ARE MUCH easier to open, lighter in weight and have the lock and the door handle right next to each other, unlike the old cars with the pull up door lock ***** in the back of the door. Some people just don't get it...amazing!

Why is it that everyone that disagrees with you is an idiot?? I think we all got your opinion on this in another thread and yes we get it, but we don't all have to agree with it and franlky I am tired of you going on and on about this!!!! (and I am sure I am not the ony one either!) I take my brothers four kids around all the time in the H3 and they have never once tried to open the door while I was driving. Also if they have their seatbelts on like they should, if by some chance they do open the door, they are not going to fall out. My opinion on it is, if you're that worried about it, then don't cart your kids around in it.
