Well, as most of you know, we will be getting another baby in Dec.. My dilema is my son ( who is almost 2 now) his car seat sits in the middle of my back seat. Well since I am gonna have an infant carrier & a car seat on the back seat , I am asking mothers of more than one child , what is the best way to place the seats, so that both children have the most & valuable protection!!!!

" Well I only have one child, but I have had two car seats in my car and it's really difficult to put one in the middle and one on the side next to it. I guess you can try it, but I don't think it will work. That pretty much leaves your only option as having one seat on each side. It might not feel as safe as having one car seat in the middle, but with two seats you don't really have a choice. You just need to make sure you have a car that you feel safe in and feel that your children would be safe in, and be the best driver you can be. "
