For Kids' sake


     National SAFE KIDS Campaign recommendations related to air bag
safety are:

     An infant should never be put in the front passenger seat of
     a vehicle with a side air bag,
     
     Children should be properly restrained in the backseat
     whenever possible and
     
     If a child must be placed in the front seat-when there are
     three children or more in the vehicle or when there is no
     back seat, the largest child should be in the front-never an
     infant. The child should be properly restrained, and the
     front seat should be moved as far back from the dashboard as
     possible.
