Coupe owner here (daily) with 2 kids
Shell + base is easy. Forward facing is easy. The ~ 1 year period in between, fixed seat facing backwards is cumbersome. Kinda have to sit besides it to take baby in/out, which could be hard to do if you have more than 1 kid.
But 1 year goes by really fast. Before you know it baby will climb in/out himself.
And coupes +2 seats are meant for kids, right?
