Can young kids go in the front seat if you are out of space in the back?

If you have 3 kids (imagine 2x4 year olds, 1x1 year old), can you put one of the 4-year-olds in the front seat (in a proper seat), and the other two in the back? Does anyone have a link to somewhere where this kind of stuff is properly spelled out? I'd also consider 3 in the back, with the middle one using the regular lap seat belt, but I'd be concerned about her getting crushed between the other two seats on a side impact. Thanks indeed for any advice. Don't worry I'm not about to do any of these things unless it turns out is legally acceptable and safe. Thanks! DeanB Given those two options my gut feeling would be that the child would be safer in front (in a high back booster with the air bag disabled and the seat as far back as possible), than in the back with just a lap belt. If this is legal I would do that. Isn't a child safer in a proper child seat ANYWHERE in the car rather than in the safer position but not suitably restrained? Mary Ann |
