Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is extremely dangerous and prohibited. According to traffic regulations, if a child restraint system (CRS) is used in the front seat (only allowed in specific exceptions, such as the vehicle having no rear seats), and it is rear-facing, it is mandatory to deactivate the passenger airbag. If the airbag deploys in an accident, it would strike the child seat with immense force, potentially causing fatal injuries by crushing the child against the seat backrest.
