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)?

It’s not safe to put any car seat in front, and all of these baby seats will have that warning label. I’m not very small sized, but I squeezed between 2 chairs at the back, one rear facing and one front facing (normal 4-seater car) to manage both kids for a few months till the little one stopped crying while in the car seat. Also avoided too many long rides. Now both are at the back with no issues.
