I believe you. Here is what I heard. The metal... hoops to lock the car seat in with, should be no more then 11" apart. If you put the seat in the middle of the KJ, you are using the one from the left side and one from the right side. And they are 19" apart. The extra 8" separation will make the seat unstable and wiggle.
And if something should happen, and one of the hoops break, or the seat becomes unlatched, there is nothing stopping it from flying into the front passenger area.
I had the idea originally to put the seat in the middle. This is what "people" told me, or more importantly told the wife. I do think putting the seat in the middle is a good idea and will work fine, I just need to plead my case to her.
Why not do what we did, and go to your nearest fire station and talk to them. They'll be more than happy to give you their advise. Who knows, what they thought was right when my son was born 7 years ago, may be different now.
