Hi, Is my 3yr old son safe to travel in a car seat in a mercedes SLK with a passanger airbag 2002 model?

cedley1969

you cant spell passenger and you expect us to believe you drive a 50,000 pound car?

snetterton

No. He's too small. The airbag will take his head off.

only if you can turn the airbag off

Pat R

No its not,small children have been beheaded by airbags in the past.

stephen eblue eyes

turn air bag off,and be safe,

francho

no the air bag can suffercate him as he is only small

tattyteddybears

it should be the law that children should be in the back ONLY. SLK's are small sports cars but their air-bags are very big. they are designed more to take an adults weight and therefore it wood really injury a child. look at the N-CAP safty rating for the SLK online, and then from that you should have your answer, (NO).

no if the airbag is activated yes if it is not but it is against the law to bring a child less than 65 pounds i beleive...to sit on the front passenger seat...unless you have a 3 seater pick up truck

I don't think she said she was driving the car never mind the spelling just answer the question.

I cant see any problem with this so I guess its OK.

its not safe if the seat is rear facing

crossvillebandmom

No you can not put a 3 year old in the front of any car. Just to dangerous.

No, it is no safe. Car seat or child safety seat--correct for his size and correctly installed (most are not) in the back seat. In most of the U.S., it is not legal either--kids under 12 must sit in the back seat.

No, absolutely not. Kids are never allowed to ride in the passenger seat, especially kids under 85 pounds. Their body weight won't help them when you get into a crash, and their necks will get snapped back because they're not tall enough for the air bag.

Kids need to be in the back.

Below is a link with a lot of info that you might want to look at...I wouldn't reccomend a 3yr.. old be in the front seat of any vehicle.

hi.
i hate airbags thats why i drive classic cars. i seen modern mercs which have a switch on the dash board to switch off the passenger airbag? switch off the airbag it could save your son.
