I get carsick too so I'm always having to look out the window. Other than that, I love watching him play or sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90460 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:00:11 +0000 Boogs 90460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both always either drive or ride shotgun, it just depends on who is driving that day. We never sit in the back with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90417 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 11:21:23 +0000 skibobrown 90417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedelia: Ooh... that's a good point that I didn't even think of. I had pictured sitting in the back seat w/ baby once she's born, but I get really nauseous too if I'm not in the front looking out the window. Maybe I'll need to drive and DH can sit in the back and entertain baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90377 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 10:46:01 +0000 autumnlove 90377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: nope, there is no "latch" system in the middle seat...only behind the driver and passenger seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90369 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 10:38:42 +0000 mrsjyw 90369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I both drive... depends on the outing; whose car we take.. etc. </p> <p>DH probably drives more than I do, because he always drives his car and drives mine too sometimes.</p> <p>I get carsick really easily, so I always sit shotgun when I can.</p> <p>I'm not sure how I'll handle it with future LOs :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90356 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 10:34:54 +0000 Andrea 90356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: ok, so i guess the seat doesn't fit in the middle of the car? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90318 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 10:10:39 +0000 autumnlove 90318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Same as @rubies! We prefer taking our Civic these days but the front passenger seat is really cramped with the Chicco base and seat behind it. For longer trips, we take our SUV and I sit in the front! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90257 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:20:02 +0000 tequiero21 90257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually my hubby drives us everywhere. but i'll drive every so often. when the babies come, there's no way we're sitting in the back (since car seats will be behind passenger and driver)... but even if we only had 1 baby, i wouldn't want to sit in the back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90241 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:04:26 +0000 Andrea 90241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: makes sense with the dog!</p> <p>@Rubies: ah ha...that must be it. in both our cars the seat fits in the middle so we always sit up front. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90230 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:51:12 +0000 Rubies 90230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: But SOMETIMES, I'll push the passenger seat as far back as it can go and sit up front with hubs. I miss sitting in the front! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90229 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:50:26 +0000 Rubies 90229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I sit in the back because LO's car seat is in the back on the passenger side. Her car seat is just so big that the passenger seat has to get pushed up and it's too close to the glove compartment and is considered unsafe in case of a car accident. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90172 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 06:46:07 +0000 heffalump 90172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to sit in the back because the dog got shotgun so he wouldn't constantly lick the baby. But I started getting car sick back there and we got a mini van so I'm shotgun, lo is in the middle, and the dog has the back seat to himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90171 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 06:42:15 +0000 Andrea 90171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: yes can someone explain sitting in the back with LO to me as well? We have never done that either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90167 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 06:19:10 +0000 looch 90167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I sit in the back, it's more out of habit than anything else. He's also rearfacing behind the passenger seat, so if I have to reach back, it's pretty dicey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90156 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 05:46:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 90156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH drives and when the LO comes, I intend to sit in the back with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90154 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 05:43:25 +0000 cupcakemama 90154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You sit in the back with LO? Really ? That had not occurred to me. Why?</p> <p>I drive or sit in the front.

He and I use this time as playtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-90135 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 02:15:46 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 90135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't sit in the back of a vehicle EVER because it makes me so sick, so sitting in the back isn't an option for me. DH and I will probably take turns driving, though we both prefer it when he drives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drive-ride-shotgun-or-sit-in-the-back#post-89957 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:39:36 +0000 chopsuey 89957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually sit shotgun.
