[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Front seat from 8 is fine as long as you can disable the air bag.[/quote]

So they can slam into the dashboard full speed or potentiall go flying through the windshield or have the windshield crash in on them?

Why are state laws so lenient about front seats? In California, kids have to be 8. I think other states are the same. Sure, there are recommendations from pediatricians and other groups recommending 12, but those are just recommendations. The law is actually quite loose. [/quote]

They are recommendations not laws because there are circumstances in which transporting children in the front cannot be avoided.  There are many families in this country that transport more children than the number of rear seating positions.  IT is a financial reality that not everyone can afford to buy a larger vehicle.

And for those saying it is about height/weight and not age, it is actually about maturity. It is about being able to sit properly for the entire ride without getting in front of an airbag at an inopportune time. [/quote]
