Question 5017
Is it correct to place a child car seat in a seat equipped with a front airbag?
- No, it is something that must never be done.
- Yes, to protect the child in the event of a frontal impact.
- Yes, when the airbag has been deactivated beforehand and the vehicle does not have rear seats.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when the airbag has been deactivated beforehand and the vehicle does not have rear seats.
Yes, in specific cases. A child 135 cm tall or shorter must ride in the back, but may ride in the front in a child car seat if the vehicle has no rear seats, as in this van. If the child car seat faces backward, the front airbag must be deactivated because it would strike the seat with great force when it inflates. In the image, the passenger airbag indicator reads OFF.
