Question for moms with Minivans

I just signed the papers for a Toyota Sienna! Woohoo I am truly a suburban stay at home mom now!

I've never had one before, so I'm still trying to figure out how to use it most conveniently.

The model I bought has two captains seats in the second row, and a bench in the third.

Where should I place my 2.75 year old and my 5 week old? I'm thinking both in the captains seats with the toddler on the passenger side so I can pass her snacks, and the baby behind me -- that way I can fold down the third row...

Oh and when I fold down the third row, what keeps the stroller from banging into the kids seats repeatedly??

Congrats!!!!
I love my minivan, I have the Nissan Quest with the same set up as yours.

We have DD in the captain seat behind the passenger seat so I can see her.

I would put the toddler behind you.

We have the third row up and down when needed. we havent had a problem with the stroller rolling around and hitting the seats.
Congrats on the new wheels!!!

Re: Question for moms with Minivans

We don't have a minivan, but we have our older on the passenger side of our car. With the infant seat, you can pop the seat out very quickly, and be out of traffic as quickly as possible. You toddler can get out of the car at their leisure on the curb side of the car.

Congrats on the new wheels and baby!
