moms of 2+: talk to me about carseat placement
we have dd in a ff carseat in each car, and she sits behind the passenger seat in both cars. i had dh pull out the infant carseat today to see if it will fit since putting it in the middle is not an option anymore.
the only way the infant seat will fit is if dd is moved to the driver's side in both cars. this bothers me a bit for 2 reasons - 1: i like to be able to see dd and 2: dd tends to kick a lot, which is distracting enough when you aren't driving.
so where are carseats placed in your car?
Re: moms of 2+: talk to me about carseat placement
DD is behind the passenger, DS behind the driver. This was because DD was RFing until 3.5yo and I needed more space for her RFing radian than for the infant. But I also had a baby trend flex loc infant seat which is the shortest one I could find.
Now that DD is FFing, I like having her behind the passenger because I can pass things back to her easier. But sometimes she insists that she wants to sit in the 3rd row, so at times we are all 3 in a row front to back.
I have seat mirrors for RFing and the extra mirror up front for seeing FFing.
If your seats only fit one way, then that's the way it is. Get the mirror on the windshield so you can see her and try to teach her not to kick.
I only have 1 but this is sort of relevant. M's booster sits better on the side than in the middle because I have sort of bucket seats in the back. So M sits behind me. I can see her easily in my rear view mirror. So when R sits behind you she should be fine - I would feel better about that than R behind the passenger and the baby behind me where I couldn't reach over with a bottle or paci or anything.

My older son is behind the passenger with the baby behind the driver. This is my preference because the toddler is always first in, last out. He's too active for me to be comfortable with him walking around the car while I am focused on strapping the baby in. I don't have to run circles around my car getting everyone loaded - it's a natural path from rear passenger to rear driver to driver's seat.
That being said, I'm sure it would be fine the other way! This is just what I'm used to...

I don't have two kids, but I do have two carseats in the car. I have F in a regular carseat rear facing in the middle and the second carseat is behind the passenger forward facing.
