Where will you be placing your newborns car seat?

Answer

Drivers side, I heard in an accident it's instinctual to protect your own side, so that's part of it, also I drive more than my fiancé, and he always pushes his seat really far back, because he's tall, so it probably won't fit behind him.

Answer

Passenger side is the death side of the vehicle so if they must be on a side drivers side is best. You have to pull over to assist baby anyways otherwise it super dangerous.

Answer

My son is on the drivers side and my daughter will be on the passenger side. Both their car seats have been side crash tested so That takes a lot of worry away. And obviously they both can't go in the middle lol

Answer

I'm pregnant with twins (don't have any other kids) so they will be going on both sides... No other option! 😂

Answer

I've got two older kids,  so my baby seat will be in the middle.  Otherwise it'll be a never ending arguement of who gets to sit next to the baby and I can't be bothered dealing with that 😅

Answer

Baby will be going on the passenger side as the other two seats are occupied with my 2 sons booster seats. I don't have enough leg room if we put her seat on the drivers side so it's just how it has to go.

Answer

My almost 2 year old is currently in the middle, but due to the size of his convertible car seat both will have to be on the outside. I will probably put him on drivers side and baby on passenger side

Answer

I drive a minivan, so I'll be moving my 6yr old daughter to the third row in her carseat (5pt), her twin brother will remain in the middle, driver's side row (he gets car sick), and the baby will be in the middle row behind the passenger. my 11 yr old will be able to reach her in a pinch.
