Of course I sit in the front to drive.
I just feel the back is safer, and since we have a perfectly good seat back there, I make good use of it. I tell my husband he's safer back there and he complies. He wants to sit next to the babies anyway and entertain them.
Part of it is habit. I never sat in the front, even in college if my mom was driving. Just plain old habit. I'm tall and husband is 6'4". Brother is 6'6" and I put him in the back too b/c he's my baby brother (he's 26, lol).
There was actually an accident a few months ago in town where 2 older teens hit a tree. The teen passenger in the front seat died, and I thought...if only that kid had sat in the back. Then maybe he would be alive.
