You could put your eldest in the front? Making sure you turn off airbags and rear facing so you can sit in the back with your newborn?
Thank you. So I guess it depends on the car and how spacious it is
@Lucy I did think of this. But husband isn’t keen
@Khadijeh Ahh! When I drive with both girls I have my newborn in the front and eldest in the back x
Check the width of car seats, they vary massively and that can affect if the seats can go together so you can sit on the side
We currently have a Kia sportage, toddler is in the front because my partner is 6ft 3 and has to have his seat far back so I’m squished behind him and our baby is in the back behind our toddler😂 but we’re getting the Skoda kodiaq which is a 7 seater but both kids are going in the back and I’m going in the front. If you want to sit in the back with them you’ll need a car with 3 full back seats or else you won’t fit xx
We have an 18 month old and a 9 week old so have two bulky car seats in the back and have an MG HS (5 seater) and I fit comfortably in the middle between the two car seats! Xx
