Car seat in the front seat

Hi just looking for some advice about the seat being in the front. Do you turn the air bags off and rear face? Is it possible to forward face or is this a big nono … I have a newborn and a long trip so I plan to sit in back with baby and have toddler in the front seat. Anyone who is doing this what is your set up? Thanks

Hi if you do this then only consider rear face with airbag off. Forward facing is dangerous at this age.

Yes airbag off but also check your vehicle manual and car seat manual to make sure a car seat in the front is okay, it usually is but double check to be sure! And of course only rear facing :) Join a car seat safety uk facebook group and post with your car seat make & vehicle model and they can give you detailed advice

& infant carriers are usually better in the front as they don’t affect visibility as much as full seats do, usually it’s recommended to have toddler in the back and baby in the front

Absolutely turn the airbag off and rear face only at this age. Forwards facing or rearward facing with the airbag on are both extremely dangerous and in a case of an accident, death is almost guaranteed. It’s horrible to hear, but better to know facts and be able to prevent it 💕
