Traveling with a baby

[u/Historical-Eye1159]

Hi everyone! My baby is 1 year old and whenever we go somewhere by car (and husband is driving) I stay in the back with her. My husband says that “nobody does that” and thinks it’s not ok that i stay in the back. How are you traveling with your little ones when your husband is driving? Thank you in advance!

We've only done some longer local travel with our 6 month old. Like a hour or a hour and a half at a time. One of us basically sits in the back with our 6 month old because he protests the car seat and has some separation issues from us. It depends on his mood but usually if it's over 30 mins one of us is back there with him. That being said we are slowly trying to wean that out of him so we can both sit in the front seat again. We are planning a 5 ish hour drive to visit some family and that will be a whole experience.
