No child restraint system should be used in the front seat of a vehicle that is equipped with front driver and passenger side airbags, as the deployment of the airbags, even with a rear-facing safety seat, can cause injury to the child. Some vehicles with only front seats (i.e. pick-up trucks) have the ability to turn off the passenger side air bag for the purpose of transporting children. Check your vehicle’s owner manual for details on the proper placement and installation of a child safety seat in your vehicle.

It is recommended that children age 12 and under be transported in the rear seats if they have outgrown their booster seat. Illinois State Police Safety Restraint website
