I was shocked today to see a friend of mine let his 6 year old, 40 pound DD ride in the front passenger seat of his car. No booster, just the adult seatbelt. I normally let car seat misuse go with friends (they know I'm a CPST and come to me if they are interested), but this is just so incredibly dangerous that I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to her and I hadn't said anything to him.
This isn't someone who will just take my word for it that what he is doing is dangerous. He will need proof. So does anyone have some links to good studies showing the dangers of a child that size in front of an airbag and riding without a booster?
I do have the law on my side - $100-500 fine for an improperly restrained child (he may be convinced by money). The law in NV is 6 and 60 pounds. She is over 6 years old but no where close to 60 pounds.
