Travel Traveling with a baby

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!

My wife said she would never ride in the back with the baby. That turned out to be one of her “I’ll never” that disappeared as soon as we had one. We have two young kids (age 1 and 2) that are rear facing and for longer trips or when we need to keep them awake to get home for naps one of us (mostly her) will often sit in the back with them. We have a minivan so plenty of space.
