My SIL and BIL's van broke down and is in the shop for atleast a week. All they have is an old crummy Chevy pickup with no back seat. It has no head rests and the back window is right up against the seats (so in an accident, those occupants will be striking the window....that sounds pleasant)
Their child is 18 months, 26 pounds and probably 31 inches. A little shorter than my DD. She is still rear facing in their van.
They will be driving her around. I asked if they could rent a car and they said no.
So my question is...in those cars, what happens when a rear facing seat rebounds? Would the child rebound up and strike the window?
Which is safer? Having her still rear facing in the front seat (there is no air bag) or forward facing in the front seat. The seat will be checked by me and they do harness properly and tightly
The whole window in front of the face thing makes me nervous! She is in a seat that does not tether RFing.
Thanks
