WRONG!!! For one it is probably illegal if you have back seats, and two, the back seat is the safest place for your child.
Tell this to anyone who drives a pickup.
Really? Don't get all butt hurt 'cause I neg repped you for giving stupid, unsafe advice.
First off, reading comprehension is key, and I know "if" is a small little two letter word but it changes the whole meaning of the sentence.
Two, I would tell this to anyone regardless of what vehicle they drove.
Three, and I know laws vary from state to state, but in Nevada it is illegal for anyone under the age of 12 to ride in the front seat of a vehicle if there is a rear seat. Again there is that little 2 letter word again. This means that if there is no back seat ie. pick ups and two seat cars, they don't have to ride in the rear seats because here is none. Now the law is there to protect the lives and well being of our kids. Why? Because the back seat is the safest place to be in the event of an accident. Kind of like why you have to wear seat belts. And statistically, the rear passenger side is the safest.
Four, obviously you don't have any kids so why you even chimed in when the first line of the thread was asking for the advice of parents.
Oh I don't even want to go on.
To the OP, my boy also sports the Recarro ProSport when riding in my car. I also looked at a lot of seats and did my research and ended up buying the Recarro. Not only is it one of the safest and most comfortable, it fits and looks good back there. It is also approved for airline use, not all seats are. I'll try and get some pics of it in the car after work tomorrow.
