We're being picked up tonight in a pick-up truck with a back row. My son's carseat is a SK Radian which is tall and requires 45 degree recline which may not allow RF in the back seat. The front seat has one of those autosensor airbag things that deactivates the airbag for certain weights.
My son weighs about 23lbs and the seat is about 20 lbs, so 43 total. He's 19 months old and has never been FF.
We're in a town that the top speed on the one paved road is 35MPH. I've seen people go as fast as 40.
So, is it better to use the back seat in FF position, or put him RF in the front seat?
And, if I FF him, do I need to worry about the safestop feature of his carseat if I can tether him, or don't worry about tethering since he's so light still and needs the extra excursion?
What would you do?
(Please answer even if you get this after tonight, and include whether or not you're a tech.)
