It depends on who is driving. My parents are not living together and neither can drive. My dad lives 40 minutes away and I was seeing him every other week but it has been really challenging to have to go see him every time. I recently decided to reduce it to one time a month. It would be different if they were able to come and visit us.
-
I voted once a month, assuming you alternate months on who does the driving.
But in our family, my ILs live 2 hours away and we see them every other weekend. (It would probably be more often if MIL and DH didn't work every other weekend.) BUT they do most of the driving, with us driving to them about once every other month. It used to be a BIG issue with me because I felt like it was too much, but honestly, now that LOs are older it's nice to know that we can almost always count on having a babysitter at least twice a month!

I think it depends on the relationship with the grandparents. I grew up seeing mine everyday and it was the best thing ever (they lived across the lake and we'd take the boat). 2 hours to me is nothing!
-
We see the ILs 1-2x per year due to geographical distance.
We see my side 4-6x per year due to lack of interest from them.

My in-laws live about a 4-hr drive away and they get pissy if they don't see LO about 1x/month. My dad lives in the same city as us and we prob see him 2x/motnh, though he travels a lot as he and my mom are long-distance plus he has business travel. on weekends my mom is in town, we see them more.
-
We live 1.5 hours from my parents and a little over an hour from in-laws. We aim for visits every 3-4 weeks, they come to visit us more than we see them. Sorry but my LO still naps, and it's not guaranteed he'll nap in a car. The great-grandparents make a stink and wish we came down there more often but it is what it is. I also work Sun mornings so it's hard with scheduling.

I voted once a month, though I think if we were 2 hours from my in laws they would want to get together every weekend, they don't mind driving at all and are super family oriented. As it is we live a plane ride + 2 hr car ride and they aren't in good enough health to fly we see them 3 times a year or so.
My mom lives 30-40 minutes away and we see her at least once a week if not more.
-
I was in between once a month and the 6 x per year. I voted 6x per year, but I'd say more every 4-6 weeks. But, that's also based on what I think would be reasonable with my inlaws. ( who I dont care for. ) If I actually enjoyed seeing my inlaws, I'd say more often, 1-2x per month maybe
-
I picked at at most once a month you go to them, and it's fine if they wanna come up (but gotta clear schedule with you first).
-
Once a quarter + certain holidays. Once a month would be too much (My ILs live 45 mins away...) because we are really busy.
