Can kids ride in the front seat of a car in a car seat when the car has air bags?

I have a friend who always drives with her kids in the front seat and she has air bags. The kids are 3 and 2. and i dont think it's safe!

Most car manufacturers recommend small children be in the back seat because of the air bags. Some states have laws requiring small children be seated and secured in the back. Call family services if you feel that strongly about it, and they'll take the kids away from her for reckless endangerment.

It is not safe at all!
Even if they are in a child safety seat, the air bag will hurt them more than it will help them if it is deployed during an accident.

no

Those children should be in the BACK. Period.

If a child has to ride up front the airbags should be turned off.

She's endangering those children!

Omigod! is she insane no it's not safe at all a child that small will have their neck broken if the bag deploys or be seriously injured or killed tell her now and if she doesn't believe you tell her to look on the visor of the car or in her instruction manual it will give her the facts there

no. that is so not safe because the child could get hurt or not be able to breath.

Children should not ride in the front seat until they are 12 or 13 years old. They are too small for an airbag. Those children should be in a car seat as well.
