A couple of times recenly I have let DC age 4.9 ride in the front seat of the car, strapped into their usual booster seat with the air bag turned off. They were very excited at the novelty of being allowed to sit in the front.
DH however had a go at me about it, saying they were far safer in the back and that I was taking unnecessary risks with their safety and that he doesn't want me to do it again.
I'll respect his opinion of course, but I just wondered if I WAS actually doing something irresponsible, as I assumed it was safe providing a proper car seat is used and the air bag is off? Does anyone else let their DCs ride in the front sometimes?
