CO is not so straight forward - as it will disperse through the air. Mounting CO detectors in varying locations/heights - from ceiling to floor - seems to be common practice - and nothing I could find shows any significant advantage of one location over another. In my last house - I had CO detectors at normal outlet height and on ceiling...
Certainly nothing hurt by adding additional CO detectors...
