Which of these statements is true about child passengers:

Children can safely ride in the front seat if they are using a seat belt.
The front seat is generally the safest place in the vehicle for children six years of age and older.
Children 1 or older and over 20 pounds should ride in the front seat.
Never install a rear-facing child safety seat in the front seat in airbag-equipped vehicles.
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.
