Do you mean, is it ok to put a kid in the front seat with the airbags on/off?

[longboy]

Need more spelling and/or information. Vehicle? Age of kid? Airbag with or without a switch? Kid in a carseat?

Here try this... 42-4-236. Child restraint systems required - definitions - exemptions.

It's always a good idea to make sure their car or booster seats are the right fit and are being used properly (you'd be surprised how many are used incorrectly). Enter your zip code in the page below and you'll get a local fitting station, usually the local PD or Fire station.

It's still a safer bet to put kids in the backseat after 60 lbs, but if you DO put them in the frontseat, slide the seat as far back from the dashboard as possible.

*Booster Seats

The law requires that children who weigh over 40 lbs. or who are at least four years old but less than six years old be properly restrained in a child booster seat or with a child safety belt-positioning device, unless they are 55 inches tall.

Safety Belts

The new law, effective August 1, 2003, requires that a child who is at least six years old or is at least 55 inches tall, must be properly restrained with the motor vehicle's safety belt.

It is recommended that proper seat belt fit is achieved when the child meets the 5-Step Test (from Safety Belt Safe U.S.A., www.carseat.org):

1) The child can sit all the way back against the auto seat.
2) The child's knees bend comfortably at the edge of the auto seat.
3) The belt crosses the shoulder between the neck and arm.
4) The lap belt is as low as possible touching the thighs.
5) The child can stay seated like this for the whole trip.
