If the vehicle has a front passenger airbag, under what condition is it permitted to place a rear-facing child seat in the front seat?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations are strict for vital safety reasons: it is prohibited to install a rear-facing child restraint system (CRS) in the passenger seat if the front airbag is active. Detailed explanation: The danger: If the airbag deploys, it does so at a speed of about 300 km/h. If it strikes the back of a rear-facing seat, it will crush the seat against the backrest with devastating force, potentially causing fatal injuries to the child. The solution: To carry the child in the front in this position (only allowed if exceptions regarding rear seat occupancy are met), the passenger airbag must be deactivated. Dismissing other options: The child's age does not exempt them from the physical danger of the airbag, and the convenience of watching the child never overrides mandatory passive safety.
