Putting a carseat in the front seat

Parents sometimes do have the tendency to place the child car seat in the front passenger seat when driving. Although this seems as a convemient location for the parent to keep a close eye on the child, please do take note that airbags are considered deadly to infants in rear-facing carseats placed at the front passenger seat. This also generally applies to children under 12 years of age using the seatbelts.

The front passenger airbag MUST be disabled, if possible, should you really need to use a rear-facing child seat in the front. If a child must ride in the front, you should also move the front seat as far back as it will go. Please only consider a front seat if no other option is available..
