Is it legal to put a car seat in the front seat of a pickup truck w/o air bags if the truck only has one seat?

My husband just bought an old 91 dodge ram pick up. It only has the one front bench seat. We have a 10 month old child. Is it illegal to place our child in his car seat in the middle of the front seat?

Yes it is legal, in a truck with or without airbags. While it is recommended that you shut off the passenger side air bag if that is a option.

No it's not illegal, unless the laws changed in the last 4 years. If there are no air bags you will be fine.


Jasmine
no you should be fine

It is not illegal.

However - it is definitely not the safest place for him to be, either, b/c the cab of a pickup truck is smaller and therefore has less crumple zone around its passengers in an accident. The safest place for a child (anyone really, but a child specifically) is in the back seat of a vehicle.
