Car seat placement in a minivan

[Saartje]

We're taking Isaac to meet his great-grandparents! At some point in the time we're there, we'll probably go somewhere in my in-laws' minivan. Where in a minivan should the car seat go? There are two back seats, which each seat three people.

We have a Britax Wizard, which needs to be placed rear-facing.

TIA

Hi. I would put the seat in the most convenient spot. How many people will be traveling with you in the minivan? If the seat will impede movement to the back row, then I'd put it in the back row. But, if it's just your in-laws and you and dh, then maybe the 2nd row because it's no fun climbing into the 3rd row of a van.
