Car Seat Configuration

Lanta00

I am interested in hearing what has worked for others. In May, I will have a 2 year old and a newborn. I am trying to figure out the best places to place the convertible and infant car seat. We have a Honda Odyssey and right now, the convertible car seat is behind the driver's seat. I am not sure if the best place to put the infant seat is on one of the sides (which is best) or in the middle seat. Also, what order do you get your kids out of the car? Newborn in infant carrier, first or second?

 

Thank you!

I don't have an Odyssey, but when my second was born, I moved my oldest daughter's convertible seat to the driver's side and had the infant car seat on the passenger side.  It was easier for me to reach around and plop the binky in with the baby on the passenger side.  It also makes things easier for me when getting the kids out of car.  I get my oldest out first since she sits right behind me and then we both walk over to the other side so I can get the baby.

I put the convertible behind the driver bc there isn't room behind the driver's seat for the infant carrier in my car. My toddler is a runner so I usually put him in first and take him out last.
