You will want him in the backseat, especially if you have airbags. Check your state laws on regulations for car seats/booster seats. I have a 6 yr old, and in my Jeep, when her back is against the seat, her feet are flat on the floor, so technically she doesn't need a booster (the seatbelt hits her in the right place) But it is sooo much better to be safe than sorry, so follow the laws your state has in place. |

Whether its allowed by law or not, its not safe. It is recommended that children not sit in the front seat until they are at least 12-13 years old, more than twice your child's age. The airbag poses significant risks, as well as it just plain putting him closer to the point of impact for most accidents. Keep him in the back seat, and keep him in a booster until he is at least 4'9" tall AND 80lbs. |

i understand u and your comments. but there is one problem for me that we are deaf so i allow to my child 6yrs old to seat at front because we need to communicate face by face than I am looking at my son at back it is not right for me. i choose that as we make sure comfortable for us. it is different situation from your opions. |
