People Also typically use passenger side because it’s easier to unload on curb side of the car when parked. Overall, using a car seat in the center position is more optimal for crash protection, regardless of whether you use Latch or belt if done properly. You shouldn’t borrow a left and right latch connector even if the tethers reach - you’re exposing the belts to forces at angles and lengths they weren’t designed for.
