Placing a rear-facing infant car seat in the front passenger seat with the airbag active is extremely dangerous and could be fatal in a collision. The force of the deploying airbag could seriously injure or kill a baby.
The only safe option is to:
* Place the rear-facing car seat in the back seat. This is the safest place for a rear-facing car seat in any vehicle. If you absolutely must use the front seat, ensure the passenger-side airbag is disabled by a qualified mechanic, using the proper methods for your car model.
* Consult your car's owner's manual: It should contain specific instructions and recommendations regarding child car seat placement.
* Contact a certified child passenger safety technician: They can help you properly install the car seat in your vehicle and advise you on the safest placement. You can find one through your local hospital, fire department, or online searches.
Attempting to disable the airbag yourself could be illegal and extremely dangerous, potentially affecting the overall safety of the vehicle. Always prioritize the safety of your child.
