A friend of mine and I were talking today and we got to talking about car seats. She asked which is safer...a 10-12 year old (assuming they pass the 5 step test) in the back with a lap belt only or the same child in the passenger seat with lap and shoulder belt. Its totally hypothetical and I said front seat with lap and shoulder belt, but she insists the back seat is safest for kids under 13 regardless of the lack of shoulder belt.
