Since the Impreza doesn't have a passenger airbag kill switch, how do you parents transport your newborns/infants?
Since they are too young to sit in forward facing seats, do you sit them in the back, facing the back?
Would it have been so hard to fit a kill switch like most other mainstream manufacturers?![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
I'm not too keen on being unable to see my sprog whilst driving........

Always have her in the rear, in a rear facing car seat, and have since birth. Bought a nice round concave mirror from Mothercare and use that to see her. Sitting in the front is not wise, and, I think, the tendency to comfort a sprog in the front seat is a lot greater than when in the back - thus keeping your focus on driving rather than anything else.

Personally I get annoyed if I see people looking at their kids while driving. Why not stop and sort the problem out? You can do that if they are in the front or back.
Mine both went in the back with rear facing baby seats until they moved up to forward facing.

The Ford Focus doesn't have an airbag deactivation switch either, I asked the dealer if they'd do it to mine but they wouldn't go near it.
I always put my son in the centre of the rear seat, although now he's 5 he sits behind the passenger seat.

My scoob doesn't have a front passenger airbag and so yes I do occasionally have my angel in the front with me but mostly she sits in the back and has done since birth, in my opinion the safest place for a child is in the middle of the car well away from all the crumple zones! That said I never had a mirror either and I've just had all the windows tinted because I refuse to have those sun screen things with silly teddy bears on.....!

Always in the back in an appropriate seat for me.
Does eveyone know about this also:-
At the moment children over the age of 3 don’t have to use a child restraint. By May 2006 it will be illegal to let a child under 11 and less than 150cm (5ft) tall to travel without a car seat. Using an adult seatbelt before a child is sufficiently developed may put them at higher risk of internal injury.
