Deanna,
Caesar is the same way.  But since we only have a car and truck the family
outings are in the car.  Brianna (17mths) still needs a car seat and will
for awhile, so here are the seating arrangments.  I sit in the back on one
side of the car seat my 8 yr old on the other side of the car seat.  My
husband drives and you highness sits in the front.  Luckily we have an
automatic.

When we try the truck and put a blanket in the back for him.  He sticks his
head in the window (from the back) and looks at us like.  Thanks for making
me travel like a horse.
