We use both an infant (rear-facing) car seat and a toddler car seat in
our '88 Vanagon camper all the time.  Either will fit in the front seat if
you use a locking clip, or in the rear seat without.  Sometimes I wish
the rear seatbelts would tighten up a bit more and hold a bit firmer,
but I think they're adequate.

What I really wish is that the rear seats had headrests (whiplash
restraints).  It's not much of an issue now, but it will be as the kids
get taller.
