Q #764 - You want to put a rear-facing baby seat on the front passenger seat, which is protected by a frontal airbag. What must you do before setting off?
It's illegal to fit a rear-facing baby seat into a passenger seat protected by an active frontal airbag. If the airbag activates, it could cause serious injury or even death to the child. You must secure it in a different seat or deactivate the relevant airbag. Follow the manufacturer's advice when fitting a baby seat.
| Deactivate the airbag | |
| Turn the seat to face sideways | |
| Ask a passenger to hold the baby | |
| Put the child in an adult seat belt |
