[Lotus7]

On the X3 (F25) only the two outer positions are safe to use with LATCH tether anchors. BMW specifically prohibits using the lower latch anchors in the center position. The two side locations use the industry standard 11.02-inch center-to-center spacing. In the center seating position, the LATCH anchors are spaced at 16 inches which will let the child seat slide laterally in a crash and could be very dangerous. The center, over the seat upper LATCH tether can be used, but only with the center seat-belt securing the child seat.
