Default 2 car seats

Sorry for the sacrilegious post, but has anyone fit an infant car seat and a toddler seat in the back of a 2nd Gen GS, however, used the configuration to have one of them in the middle? (thus leaving one passenger seat vacant)

Im sure you route the mounting points but definitely a tight fit back there.

I've occasionally packed the fam into the GS. I have 3 kids and this seems to be the best setup for the seats I have. Had a toddler seat with a decent size base in the middle and a booster behind the passenger. My oldest sits behind me and its a little tight for him (he's 7). You're not gonna get anyone too much bigger to sit back there comfortably. If you sacrifice comfort and scoot your seat forward, it may be doable with a small adult.

I have tried it with the car seat in the middle, and toddler seat behind the driver, works ok, but for the fact that it is difficult and heavy for a mother to manipulate the middle infant seat

I tried it, I have a 2 year old and a 11 month old. Both Fwd facing, the hump in the middle of the seat will leave one seat kind of not so secure. You have really no choice but to put them both outbound.
