Safe to put 2yo at front seat in car with baby seat?

Expecting 2nd child soon. Is it safe to put 2yo at t front seat (with baby seat of course)? So that I can manage new born at the back, and 2yo is with father at t front (he can tend to 2yo when he's not driving.. or I can reach out from t back like pass her a bottle) Otherwise how do parents at the front seat manage when they have two babies at the back seat that need attention (like if newborn suddenly wakes up for feeding)?
