2005 Dodge Neon

My Ex-Husband (XH) just bought a 2005 Dodge Neon.

He doesn't live around here, but he's driving here and taking the kids out of state around the holidays.

Dd likely won't need a booster, she 5 steps in almost all vehicles now. Does it have head rests? side curtain air bags? how safe (or unsafe) is it? any concerns from a CPS point of view?

thanks!

My husband had the same car until recently. It had 2 head rests in the back and no side airbags, if I remember correctly. I can't remember if the head rests were adjustable or not though. Not sure how many carseats/people that will be in the back, but a 3 across will be very difficult. DS's carseat, Signo, was in middle and it was difficult for me to sit next to it when needed.
There are worst cars out there than a Neon. DH's held up well in his accident, except he bent the frame. :rolleyes:

I have an 05 Neon. The back seat does have head rests that are non moveable outboard. There is no side air bags.

I currently have a MR in the middle RFing and am able to have both seats all the way back. Also the passenger's seat is reclined a bit.

She's very tall, any idea if the Frontier in booster mode would fit outboard? The only other option would be the new Boost Air I think, but it needs head support and I don't think non movable head rests would provide it.
