.......with the correct car seat of course?

I know its totally legal, and if you can turn the airbag off you must, or at least push the seat as far back as it will go. Is it safer in the back?

We used to fight over the front seat as kids and wondered what todays mums thought...do you put your toddler in the front?why?....if not then why not?

Cheers in advance

Hello

I'm a safety bore and safest seat is back centre, followed by back outer seats, followed by front seat.

We could turn off the airbag and do it that way, but we just feel it's safer for them to be in the back. They haven't asked to sit up front yet, but until they are older (they are 6, almost 5 and 3), it's not going to happen. At least this way there are no fights over who gets to go in the front. It's always me!

ONLY if there was no airbag (or an airbag that was turned off) and all the the other seats in the car were occupied with other younger (or smaller) children sitting in them

the front seat is the most dangerouse seat in the car so if there was an alternative than no way

even if the seat was right back, and there was an active air bag then no way.... the airbag going off could kill the child
