If you have a toddler and an infant, how do you arrnage the car seats?

I'm thinking I'll put older DS behind the passenger's seat and younger DS in the middle so I can tend to the younger one if I sit in the back seat.

How are your seats arranged?

Do you sit in the back if DH is driving?

Toddler is behind me - infant (well now she is a toddler) b/h the passenger. We had a car seat inspection guy put them in. He said right next to each other is dangerous and that this is the safest arrangement. That way the side where you need the stroller is always on the curb.

Totally didn't think of the stroller.

I always sat in the back with DS when we had just one child.

Toddler behind driver, infant behind passenger because DH needs to put the seat far back when he drives and cant with the rear facer behind him.

I only sit back there when the baby is really fussing on a long drive so I usually just climb from front to back.

I used to sit in the back often. Still do. I can fit b/w the two seats.

The car seat guy said in an accident if the seats are too close together they stack.
