car seat airbags

question about car seats for a four year old and airbags?

my daughters dad just rang me asking about putting her in the front seat of the car in her car seat, shes four and a half and its a forward facing seat suitable for her age and weight, but he has a vectra with airbags in the front passenger side, and I don’t know if this is safe or not i the event of a crash? The car seat has no warning, but does anyone know for sure or ahve any experience?

Actually, I believe that the child is by far safer in the back seat than in the front seat. Because of the shortness of a child, the airbag will hit them directly in the face and can cause a fatal incident. A child the size of your daughter should ALWAYS go in the back seat in her child seat, well strapped in, and in the center position if possible, or available. Rear facing or front facing seats do not matter, if you daughter is in a child seat, they should be in the back seat. I’m not kidding, the air bag can kill them. Is there no warning on your sun visors? Here in the U.S. it is illegal to put a child seat in the front seat (unless you can turn the passenger air bag off), and there are warnings on the sun visors and in the owners manual. I looked up Vectra, and it has a rear seat, so why NOT put her back there? Center of the rear seat is the safest place in the whole car.
