where did you position your carseats?

[Doing my best]

I put DD behind the passenger and DS behind the driver.

Reason being DD is forward facing and we can recline the seat for the passenger as we do a lot of long distance travel.

depends really.. Having them behind the front seats is good, coz it gives them space from eachother (more for when they are older) and its easier to get them in and out of the car.

But... having the bub in the middle and ur DD to the side.. she could be a good lil helper on long trips etc.. to play with bub, give dummy etc.. Also having it this way, u can have another person in the car too.

As for the saftey side of things.. it is more dangerous for you DD to be on the side (as im sure u know ) but im not sure how things go when it comes to saftey for bub with another kid on the side.. does that make sensE? lol .

We had no choice but to go one on each side, we just couldn't fit the capsule and carseat next to each other. Advantage is, ds can actually see more than what he used to and loves it.

I'm debating this myself!
DP wonders why I'd put a seat in the middle and not on either side, cos I have SPD. But if it's anything like last time, the SPD won't be an issue after the birth, and I can put DS in the middle so that all I have to do is unbuckle him and let him slide out once I have the baby in the sling/buggy (depending on which one I'm using). If I have them on either side, then it will be harder to unbuckle DS from one side (more reaching over) and I don't need the temptation to let him out on the road side!
So, I'm erring on the side of having DS in the middle so he can see the road and the baby on the door side to the footpath for easy lifting. Should really get DP to fit the damn seat now...he's been avoiding it and we're getting closer...I just want it ready to go, in case we have to make a mad dash to somewhere after the baby is born!
Good question

ETA: Lori - of COURSE! It depends on the car - I meant to say that, too! We've got a VR sedan now and actually have the option - prior to February we had an old Camry and before that my beloved little Pulsar hatch, where there was never an option about this. Then again, there wasn't much more room to stretch over in and it wouldn't have been an issue anyway, I suppose!

DD's seat (rear facing) was behind the passenger seat. DH drives the car more than me, and therefore needs the extra leg room so we couldn't put it behind the drivers seat.

DS was moved to behind the driver's seat. Then we went to a BB meet up and picked up snugglybean, so we moved DS to the middle seat. The kids liked sitting together so much we just left them there. Now we have changed it a little (no reason why, just its the way DH put them in for some reason) DS is behind the passenger seat, and he likes to have his window open so this works well - and DD is in the middle. I like them close together (even though they fight and pinch each other sometimes) because they also entertain each other, and he can give her biscuits and stuff or a drink if I hand it to him (he's easier for me to reach) plus they also hold hands (awwww)

When this new bub comes, I'll have three seats along the back seat, so the plan is for DS to go in the middle because he can climb into his own seat, so I don't need to lift him in there. DD will go behind the drivers seat (forward facing) and bubs will go behind passenger seat.
