The youngest children

Infants can be carried in the front seatmachines only in the child car seat. The safest position of the baby in the car seat is "face back". With an emergency braking in this position, there will be no sharp nod of the head, which is dangerous for a small child. The weight of the head in babies is large enough, and the neck is still very weak; so this nod can be extremely dangerous for the baby. When you put a car seat in the car against the motion (that is, the kid looks back), you must always disable the airbags if your car is equipped with them. The child is placed with his back against the pillows, so when an accident occurs they will strike a blow in the back of the child, comparable to a sledgehammer. Therefore, the pillows do not provide safety for the baby, who sits in the car seat with his back forward, and can even kill him. After a year, you can put the child in the front seat in the car seat and in the course of travel. In this case, you can not disable the airbags, but you must push the chair back to the maximum. This is necessary in order to compensate for the thickness of the car seat. So the child will be at the distance from the airbags, which is necessary for their effective and safe operation.

Children under 12 years of age

Car seats are always designed for a certain weightand the age of the child. From some point on, many parents abandon the car seat and use a booster. The booster is a seat without backrest with seat belt guides. Some boosters are equipped with more armrests. In fact, it does not provide security for the child, since it does not protect it in the event of a side impact. Booster only allows you to raise the child a little bit, so that the regular seat belt in the car passed over his shoulder. However, there is one "but" about using a booster in a car: you can not transport children under 12 years in the front seat using a booster. At any age, until the child has reached the age of 12, in front it must be fastened in the car seat. The bustle is very inexpensive. But if you have a need to transport your child in the front seat, spend money on buying a car seat. Models of car seats of 2-3 categories, designed for children under the age of about 12 years, are of a very simple shape and allow the child to fix the straps of the car. The cost of this category of car seats is very small, if compared with models for younger ages. But, of course, this car seat will cost you more than a booster.

Children over 12 years old

If your child is already 12 years old, youquietly you can put it in the front seat without any additional devices. You, of course, must fasten his seat belt. It is even more important not to reach the age of 12 years, but the growth of a child - 150 cm and above. With such growth, the seat belts in the car are located on the shoulder of a person. If even at 12 your child has a small height, you must continue to use the car seat. With an increase of less than 150 cm, the safety belt will either slip or crush the child's head in the event of an accident, which can lead to very bad consequences. Always remember that the front passenger seat is the most dangerous in the car. If possible, it is better to put the child behind the driver, where it is safer.
