Why is it "highly recommended" to use the outside seats? The car seat manufacturer together with all other literature I've seen recommends the center. From a common sense perspective this is obviously the safest place with regards to side window glass as well as side impacts.



Because of the Isofix connectors and the fact that the Cayenne has the arm rest in the middle.
The side windows on my Cayenne Turbo are made of the same laminated safety glass as the windshield, another good reason to go for the heat insulating glass option if you have kids.

It also seems that US manufacturers have different recommendations for child seats than german manufacturers, maybe it has to do with national safety laws or different car safety regulations, I don't know.
