Yep. but the reason they are required by law to keep the kid in the back is so the passenger side airbag doesn't kill them in case of an accident.

If parents could shut the thing off and put the kid baak in front, I'd bet this would happen less often.

Just my $0.02.

Agreed! Though I don’t think that’s the only reason the nany state requires young children be put in the back seat. I think it’s also because the front seat is at higher risk in a crash. But maybe if they’d get the multi-conviction drunk drivers off the road, there wouldn’t be so many crashes . . . And let us use our own judgement — like maybe put the kids in the back on for highway driving.
