Yeah sounds like you'll need 2 unless you just do both drop offs and pickups. That's what I do

DH drops off and I pick up. I can't picture only having one seat even though I walk most of the time.

I do both 95% of the time. But daycare is a 2 min walk and I WAH so I am generally very flexible.

We have discussed the logistics of this (I'm due next Spring). I'll do drop offs & pick ups because I go to work later (when daycare is actually open) and get home earlier. I already do all of the cooking. We plan to buy one car seat for my car. Then depending on how much we go back & forth between using my car and his car when he takes paternity leave we may get a second car seat even before the baby starts daycare.

@ms.jellen: I do most drop offs and pick ups. But when LO was a baby we just had two car seat bases and left the bucket seat at daycare, which lots of other parents did. Once she outgrew the bucket seat, we did get a convertible car seat for each car, although sometimes I see these left at school as well.

I also do all the cooking too because my schedule is less crazy than DH's.

Me. Dh has a 45 min commute the opposite direction. Occasionally my mom or sisters will pick her up, they have a car seat in their cars

Hubs does drop-offs and I do pick-ups. When the baby was still in a bucket seat, we had one seat and two bases. We'd leave the bucket seat at the daycare. Now that we use convertibles, we have two for each kid so that each car has a convertible.

I drop off, DH picks up. We have two carseats.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but we leave a seat at daycare as needed.

I do 80-90% of drop off and pickups - we now have two convertible car seats (DD is 2). When DD was little we only had one carrier (2 bases) and we just left the carrier there every day. Its pretty standard in the newborn room.

Then - DH installed the convertible in his car when she was about 7 or 8 mos and he used that while I used the carrier. Around 1.5 years we both moved to convertible. (DD was little so her carrier was appropriate until that time.)

Yep, 2 car seats. I usually drop off and DH picks up. We occasionally switch like today, but he normally goes in super early and leaves early to make the 6:00 pick up time.

My husband usually does both. I end up usually picking up once a week or so. We both have convertibles. The one in my car is more basic than his since he is rarely in my car.

I drop off, either of us pick up and sometimes we split duty since our girls are in two different spots now. DH does almost all of our cooking. So sometimes it's easier to have him head home and start dinner and I'll get the kids.

We have two seats (of all our sizes!). Our original daycare wouldn't let us keep our bucket seat there so we each needed one.

We bought three car seats - one for each of our cars and one for my inlaws' car. Although I do all drop offs and pick ups (sore subject), DH sometimes gets out of work early and texts to say he can get E. I LOVE those days, and they are made possible by the extra car seat!

I do drop off and DH does pick up. I go into work later in order to drop LO off later, and DH goes in super early so that he's out in plenty of time to pick him up. When he was an infant, we did one bucket seat with 2 bases, and once he outgrew that, we each have a seat in our car.

I do see parents taking the full convertible car seat in and out of our daycare to save some money on having to buy the second seat.

We have two convertible car seats as well. So much easier than taking it in and out! Especially since we do a fair amount of driving in both cars.

I drop-off and DH picks up. Preschool is close by so we walk. DH and I both take the bus so car seats aren't an issue. We only have 1 car and hardly ever use it except on weekends.

I do all drop offs and pick ups. On the rare day DH would need to get kids, I just leave car seats at daycare.
