Kay first off he is not just my boyfriend he is my man and the father of our only child.

Answer 1

As long as the child is in the appropriate seat it is OK to be in the front seat of a Pick-up that only has the one bench. As mentioned place the seat rear facing in the middle position with the lap belt tight around baby seat.

Answer 2

There is a reason that it is dodgy to put a rear facing child seat on a front car seat. This is that the air bag will hit the child seat and through it backwards because it is lighter and closer to the dashboard than an adult torso in the case of an accident.

If the vehicle does not have airbags, then this is not an issue, however, you should consult the local laws as to whether this is legal.

Have you considered bolting the child seat to the floor of the interior (for example, behind the front seats, not the footwell)?

Answer 3

"Kiffin" is basically correct. A good rearward facing child seat properly buckled in is acceptable, and legal in a pick up truck with only one seat. Since most of these type of seats have a back that will fold forward you may, for your own peace of mind, want to find a way to secure it permanently in an upright position so it won't fold over in the rare chance that you are in an accident.

Answer 4

You need a rearfacing child seat that will be buckled into the center section of the front seat. Your boyfriend is DEAD WRONG; you MUST have the seat that is age-appropriate for the child or the driver will get a stiff fine and possibly even some points on his/her license.

Answer 5
