we are expecting a new baby in a couple of weeks. i already have 3 teenagers who are obviously no longer in car seats but i am thinking about the logistics of placing a FIXED 0-4yr car seat for new baby. i have been told by shop keeper that front seat is not recommended because of driver distraction and cute new baby. also, i dont like the idea of having to disconnect air bag in case i forget to reconnect it when car seat moves out. neither do i like the idea of sitting in back myself if dh is driving (it would be rare for all 6 of us to be out together and would take 2nd car at such times). then in the back seat, dh says one side or another is more practical and i think middle seat is safer (side impact etc), also when teenagers were little i seem to remember size issues with 3 kids in back ie car doors would 'hit' side of any car seat when closing. what do you think? does anyone have any similar experiences? am i worrying over nothing? sorry for long post, comments gratefully received.
