My oldest daughter, age 10, sits without a booster in the back of our truck (2003 Tundra). It has a small seat, and she fits well without the booster there. She still uses a booster in my 01 Camry though as her legs aren't long enough yet.
This morning she keeps asking me if she can sit in the front seat of the truck. It has a key switch to turn off the airbag for the passenger seat. I told her no, but then decided that I would ask the experts here what they recommended. Her knees don't exactly bend at the end of the seat, but since the floorboard distance is so short, her knees probably won't ever just bend at the end of the seat. The lapbelt seemed pretty low and I could feel her hipbone above the lapbelt.
Here are some pictures of her sitting in the front seat of the truck.
So what do you think? Keep her in the backseat, or let her ride up front with the airbag disabled?
