How do you position your car seats for 2u2?

We have DD1 rear facing in the convertible seat behind the driver.  DD2 is in the infant seat in the middle.  DD1 can't reach DD2 to poke or touch her.

I have an Explorer.

I have a Traverse.

Right now we will have them on opposite sides of the car. DD will be 18months when DS comes in June, so she will still be RF. DH is tall, so the driver's seat (he always drives) needs to be pretty far back and DD's seat doesn't fit behind it in the RFi

We have a mini van now but prior to that we drove a Ford Explorer.  I had the car seats on the sides - DD1 rearfaced on the passenger side and DD2 on the driver side.

Up until recently, I had DD1 behind the passenger and DD2 behind the driver.  There's lots of street parking in my area, so I wanted DD1 to exit onto the sidewalk.  Now DD1 is good at listening and DD2 wants to test her boundaries, so DD2 now ex
