[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for those of you with the mentality of "always" in the back  - when its just you and your spouse does the non-driver sit in back?  That is the safest after all.  And it's by far better for your kids to have both of you alive so it's best for them as well if one of you rides in the back[/quote]

No because the spouse is old enough, has mature bones with full density and enough weight that a deployed airbag would help him in an accident and not suffocate or injure him.  For kids in the age range of 8-13yrs old, they have growing bones, higher increase of broken and fracture bones and can not withstand the force of an airbag.  Car manufacturers had to turn off airbags for weight because of injuries.  So now you have kids in the front seat with no airbags or getting hurt from the airbags.  Adding a booster to the front seat adds weight to turn an airbag back out for a child not ready to have an airbag deployed in their face.

And honestly why the heck are you arguing for keeping kids in the front.  Pathetic.[/quote]
