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.
