The one year old sat in a rear-facing car seat in the front passenger seat. The airbag was turned off - an active airbag can be lethal so a child should NEVER sit in front of an active airbag. In Sweden it is very common to turn off the airbag and have the child RFing in the front seat, this is not the case in the US(I have not started this thread to recommend anyone to put their child in the front seat but to show what amazing forces an RF car seat can take). The car the child was in collided with a bus! The one year old was practically unharmed. Tragically a 10 year old sister was severed injured and their parents and a 5 year old sister got killed :crying:
Edit: New article in English on carseat.se
Helena over at rear-facing.co.uk has translated the Swedish article into English, it focuses largely on the fact that the little girls life was saved because she sat RF. When one visit the Swedish link and looks at the car it is hard to understand that it was possible for two people to survive.
My thoughts and prayers goes to the family.
