Explanation
Children aged 12 and under are safest when properly restrained in the back seat, especially in vehicles equipped with a passenger-side airbag. Airbag deployment during a crash can pose serious risks to children seated in the front. To maximize safety, the National Safety Council recommends that children under 12 always ride in the back seat, secured with a seat belt or an appropriate child restraint system for their age and size. If a child must ride in the front seat, please turn off the passenger-side airbag.
