If you have a two door it is easier to put them in the front, but if it had airbags, No! I suggest if it is a four door, keep Kylah in the back. ------------- Harlan Drew DOB: 06.12.06 & Stepmum to Ethan & Christian, DOB: 25.02.99 |

Yeah was thinking the same.. its just we have 3 cars, DF has a wagon.. which is what we have been using with her, i have a honda - DF took it to work today and i have a corolla.. it has no seatbelts in the back, hence the question  ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Yep because it has no airbags. Usually the back seat is safer, but that's not in the case of not having seat belts  -------------  |

I actually thought you were not allowed to put capsules in the front seat. Hmm I am probably wrong!!! ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">

| I put the seat right forward so it's really stuck in the front which is the same as what I do in the back but reversed so it's not that much different. |

As far as I know you *can* put them in the front seat as long as there are no airbags or the airbags have been disabled, but the LTSA say the back seat is the safest place for kids under 12. Bonnie (CRS) will know more.
But if there's no seatbelts in the back then thats not an option, so front would be safer. Altho I thought you had to have seatbelts installed in older cars that didn't have them to get a warrant these days? ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Na if they were made without seatbelts you dont have to have them, but if they have been installed they cant be taken out. Im just going to get them installed :) Or sell the car.. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |
