Can I use a car seat from 2016?

Can you put car seat in a third row SUV?
Yes! The third row is likely the safest place you can seat a child in a vehicle that offers such a row, and I’d estimate the center seat of the third row to be the safest location in a vehicle. This is very rare in the US, but statistically, it’s still safer than forward-facing anywhere else in the vehicle.
Where do you put the carseat in a 3 row SUV?

Do I really need a third row?
The obvious benefit to a third-row vehicle is the extra space. Vans and SUVs with this addition can fit seven or more people, which is a must for commuters with a large family. However, even if you don’t need to pack the vehicle to capacity, many drivers simply appreciate the comfort of a roomy space while on the road.
Should a car seat go behind the driver or passenger?
Install in the Backseat The car seat should always be installed in the back seat. That is the safest spot for your baby. If you can, put the car seat in the center seat. If not, it is fine behind either the driver or passenger side.
