Explanation
Placing a rear-facing child safety seat in the front seat of a vehicle with an airbag can be extremely dangerous. In the event of a crash, the airbag could deploy with enough force to strike the back of the child safety seat, potentially causing serious injury or even death to the child. NEVER place an infant in a rear-facing child safety seat in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag, unless the airbag is turned off.
