LO is 6 weeks old, and I'm still camped out in the backseat so I can attend to the baby when he gets fussy in his carseat. I miss sitting in the front with my husband! How long did you sit in the backseat?
-
Probably the first two weeks? After that I had to start driving places alone with her (well, didn't *have* to but wanted to), so I started sitting in the front again when we were all out together too. On long trips I do sometimes still spend part of the time in the back but in general I'm in the front most of the time now.
-
when DH drives i still ride in the back at 8 months, but she doesnt really need me there because she is used to being there by herself when I drive her to daycare each morning
-
Oh wow I only sat in the backseat on the way home from the hospital!
-
Just on the way home from the hospital and maybe once or twice when he's been really fussy. I can see part of him/let him hold my finger/give him a bottle from the front seat though.
-
I think the first couple of weeks I did and now it's a few times a month when he's really fussy.
-
On way home from hospital only. I took her out by myself after a week so I.obviously couldn't be in the back anymore.
But she also sleeps the entire time in the car almost every single time so it is easy.
-
Only the first couple weeks. She was tiny so I worried about the way that she slumped over in the car seat. But now I take her out by myself and she's just fine so when we are all together I sit in the front. We have one of those rear view mirrors though so we can always see her.
-
I actually never did in the beginning because he would always fall asleep but at 3.5-4 months he started screaming like a banshee in the car and would sit in the back for longer car rides. Now I rarely sit back there although he still gets fussy during longer drives.
-
I did maybe the first 2 months so I could stare at her..haha!
-
I have never sat in the backseat with my daughter.
-
Only home from the hospital, she sleeps for the most part in the car. We also have a mirror on the backseat so we can see her from the front seat. We did a 20 hour one way (split into two days) road trip with her at 8/9 weeks and I didn't sit in the back at all. Just occasionally reached back to pop her paci back in.
-
When DH drives, I still sit with her at 5.5 months! She just learned to fall asleep in the car about a month ago though.
-
I think only the first 3 or 4 car rides! LO just sleeps in the car though.
-
Just the first couple of weeks. Now I only sit back there if we're taking a long trip and she's not sleepy. If she's sleepy, she goes to sleep much better without someone in the back seat with her.
-
I've only ridden in the backseat with LO on the way home from the hospital and a couple other times when she was really fussy. Otherwise, I'm in front. I take her out so often by myself that she's used to being back there by herself. As long as she has a toy, she's fine.
