Does anyone know of any videoclips showing what might happen if you put a child in front of an airbag? I would be grateful if I could get some links :)

I'd like to see videoes of children in carseats and without carseats(if it exsists).

In Norway it is reccomended that children stay in the backseat until they are 12 years old and over 140 cm(55.1" ). I don't know what the reccomandations is elsewhere?

I'm not sure if I've seen a video, but here a pre crash and post crash tests of a RF seat installed in front of an airbag.

ETA: There is a video HERE of a RF infant seat in front of an airbag.

Not sure if those will help you or not though.

THIS is an informational video stressing children should not ride in front of an airbag.

You absolutely cannot install a rear facing car seat in front of an active airbag.

However, if you must put a front facing child in the front seat, the biggest risk is if the child is out of position (e.g., leaning forward) or improperly restrained. The IIHS has some good information about kids and airbags. Here are the links (these are all PDF format):
About your airbags
Kids & airbags
Need an airbag on/off switch? Probably not

Here are their crash test videos:
Full frontal test with and without airbag, 95th percentile dummy
Rear-facing infant seat with deploying front passenger airbag test

Thank you :D

I have no plan putting my child in front of an airbag, I just want some links for my homepage. I got so frustrated the other day when I picked up my son from kindergarden. A mum picking up her son, she had to boosters in the back but sat her son in the front seat with just the seatbelt. Some people are so careless :(

Just have to add that my son sits RF in both cars ;)
