A few months back, I had to move Jack's seat to the middle seat in my car. After a couple of days, I noticed that both my kids were happier. As you can read here, my kids are not great car riders.
Here are the reasons I like having them next to each other:
1) They can look at each other and for some crazy reason, my kids like each other.
2) Jack can tell me if the baby is sleeping.
3) If Bailey drops her toy, Jack can hand it to her.
4) "Taking care" of the baby gives Jack something to do in the car and makes him feel like big stuff :)
5) I can easily reach back from my seat and unbuckle Jack. Then, I get out of the car and close my door. Jack will then climb into my seat to get out when I'm ready for him (a lot of times I put Bailey in the front pack when I have them on my own), which saves me having to go around the car and get him--it's just a better, safer plan all around.
FYI--that picture is not posed--on a 4th of July road trip I looked back there and they were holding hands all on their own. Matt was driving, of course, so I took this precious picture to show him.
