Car Seat in Dodge Dakota

Looking at a 1996 Dodge Dakota extended cab. I have a two year - does he (and his car seat) go in the back in the middle(if they fit), or in the front passanger seat (without airbag). Any help appreciated!

Hi-

The back seat is safest for anyone. Kids 12 and under should always ride in back unless there is no other alternative. Riding in the front seat really is the last resort, as the statistics are not favorable. Obviously, the airbag should be off and the vehicle seat should be moved all the way back if you have to do this.

Trucks tend not to be very child friendly. If you require a truck, please choose one with a large enough back seat to fit a carseat, and try the carseat before you buy if possible. Side-facing seats are not safe for any age!

Hope that helps!

One more item to keep in mind in regards to the back seat is that at least 80% of the child seat must fit on the vehicle seat.
