My 2 year old, sits in the middle of the backseat. He likes it because he is a bigger boy, so he can look out the front window, and you would be suprised what he sees. He has seen dogs that I would have never known they were there. Must have really good eyes. He also likes it because he can see all of the choo-choo's that go over on the bridges.
He like my truck more than my fiance's car.
Just remember one thing though, there are still more good times than bad times, but it seems that it is the other way around, but it isn't.

 

The middle of the backseat is the way to go, until the little monsters are old enough for booster seats.
My 3 yr old girl also preferrs riding in a truck.The other day when I was taking her to her mothers house (I am divorced) she says "dad your truck is the best and I want one when I get big enough".75% of the time kids are an absolute joy to have around but, its the 25% of the time that they are not that makes you wonder why you wanted kids.Enjoy them while they are still around, as the years will fly by and before you know it they will be moving out and heading off to college.
