Baby Car Seats

Posted by ken132 (72 days ago)

Anyone can give advice on this? Anyone know if putting baby seats in the rear is safe with the side and curtain airbags?

I am reading up on the topic and am a little worried since I cannot really find any information about this...

This was the only thing I could find and does not offer me much comfort.

As I see it, it is safe. Side and curtain airbags don't go pop into "your space" as front bags do. They create a barrier in the space not typically occupied by the victim.

Loads of cars are equipped with both side and curtain bags + ISOFIX/Latch mounts. That would certainly not be permitted in the US if the car manufacturers felt they were risking lawsuits.
