Ok...I know the "answer"...the least safe/protected child goes in the safest spot...so which one is it? In the van (olds silhouette) center bench I have Haylee RF behind the driver's seat b/c I'm huge prego...but once the baby gets here, which one is the "least protected"...the baby in an infant seat (RF obviously) or Haylee RF in the FPSVD? I'm really thinking that I might keep Haylee outboard, have her climb in from the other side, and then pop the baby in, walk around to my side and buckle Haylee in, but still pondering and open to suggestions!!!

Since they are both RF I would put the baby in the centre RF (if it fits) as the baby will be the younest/smallest/littlest.

It was what made sense to me also, but I just wanted to double-check. I've always answered the question for a FF child and a RF infant, so it's the other way around....and I was pretty sure that the older RF would go outboard and the infant center, but...yeah...anyways...thanks!!!!

No problem, let us know if you can get them both installed side by side :D

Ah, in my van on the center bench it's not an issue...b/c the outboard side is super-narrow (a pain, but fits the FPSVD great) and the center part is huge. Right now Lex's Apex is in the center seat and it still has 3 or 4" of space between it and the FPSVD. The issue will be when I transport an extra...either the baby or Haylee will have to go in the back b/c you CANNOT do 3 across with an Apex!!!! It will be fine though...I don't do 3 across very often....and I'm hoping for a bigger vehicle eventually!!!!
