Default Re: Where did you put the carseats?

We have one behind the driver and one behind the passenger. In our old car, it was difficult to get a secure fit for the Graco in the middle with the Marathon beside it. Now we have a minivan with captains chairs so either side just works more easily.

We split them in the back. The baby is behind the driver because we always have her and Megan is sometimes at school.

Default Re: Where did you put the carseats?

Check your vehicles owners mannual it will surprise you how many cars out there do not have the latches for rear facing seats in the middle. You have to have three sets of anchors one for each position to be able to safely use the middle seat...or your owners mannual needs to state that you can use the middle seat by "bridging" the inside anchors from each of the two outside seat positions. You can use the seatbelt to position a child seat in the middle position if you vehicle doesn't accomodate it using LATCH/UAS, but I can never get it in tight enough using the seatbelt. We have a Chevy Malibu (2006) and a Subaru Forester (2003) and neither of these vehicles allows for the safe positioning of a child seat in the middle position. I was shocked, DD has always been on the outside (behind the passenger). When #2 arrives we will move her to behind the driver and put the baby behind the passenger. DH has to have the seat all the way back and there isn't room to put a rear facing seat behind him if he has to drive. Plus if you put the infant seat behind the driver you'd have a hard time seeing them in the rearview mirror.

Default Re: Where did you put the carseats?

We've got a Pilot and put one on each side. I think it would be impossible to put our two seats next to each other, not to mention the hugest hassle of all time trying to get both in and out that way.

Default Re: Where did you put the carseats?

One on each side but I drive a compact car. Andrew is rear facing behind the passenger seat so that his good ear is facing the middle of the car so he can hear best.

Default Re: Where did you put the carseats?

This was my logic:

I had A behind the Driver because when we were walking to the car I could quickly click in the bucket *WHILE* still holding G's hand then head over the other side with two hands!

Default Re: Where did you put the carseats?

There will be no choice in my car -- Subarus are notorious for having too small a back seat for good carseat placement (not possible to get 3 in there at all). So, Isabella (who is forward facing) will be behind the driver...while the baby will be behind the passenger (and the passenger will have little to no legroom).
