Exactly...

We take a 5 day class on carseats...

 

Trailer does have fenders and my truck has fender flares and mudflaps and one of those skirt things with the brissles.

You get rocks bouncing back on the gravel roads just the way it is.

So why is the back seat the safest??? As long as the air bag is off I don't see the difference in safety. Not trying to argue but I honestly don't see the difference. If your on a head-on accident I can see the advantage being in the back. But if you get rear-ended your better off in the front.

 

I think some of you need help. Over half of all car seats are not properly installed we are talking about children safety here have the cops or fire dept do at least you should feel safer about it have a 2nd person look at it to make sure. I broke 3 rear windows their are call fenders most trailers have them I build my own and put them on mine.

 

Are you to dumb to read my second Post?? Or is it just laziness??

RSWORDS said he had a 5 day course on care seat safety. I am trying to ask him a educated question. On why the back is considered safer? Taking a 5 day course he should know.

 

I see no way possible for a rock to clear your tailgate on a trajectory to take out your rear wimdow if you have fendors but OK. It has happened to you.

You think that little switch will guarantee your airbag wont go off? Ever seen the protrusion a vehicle makes when it hits another car. Pushes the dash into the front seat. I have pictures of the glove box of cars TOUCHING the back of teh front seat of MANY cars. Ever seen the side of a car get pushed all the way to the center when it got T-boned? I have pictures of doors TOUCHING the center consle on MANY cars. The rear center seat is the most protected are in a car/truck in an accident. If you rear ended, in a truck you have the bed to take the impact, in a car the truck will collapse on its self before the passenger compartment start to crush in. If your in teh front their is not as much that needs to colapes to start deforming teh front passenger area, sure the hood is as long as the truck, but its not empty space, got an engine in thier. I have no pictures were the rear center seat of a car was in worse shape then any other spot in the car. Also less chance if ejection in a roll over, less chance of something coming through the window in a roll over. Remember, The location is not chisen to keep your kid from a glass scrape. It there to keep your kid alive. In an all out crash, high speed rollover, into a tree, t boaned laying upside down on the road... You kid stands a better chance in the rear center seat.

CLIFF NOTES: More stuff has to move to get to your kid in the rear center seat.

 

this may answer some of the question. These people recomend the Center of the rear seat because it is the most insulated from all crash angles..

As long as a child can be correctly restrained in the rear center position, we generally recommend it. That position is insulated from all crash angles, so it is usually thought of as safest.

The right and left rear seats are similar in relative, based on fatal crash statistics. When selecting between them, some considerations might include the height of the driver, curbside parking, the availability of a door, access to other seating positions, the safety of all other passengers, whether the child needs to be monitored, driver distractions, etc. The final decision must be made by parents and caregivers.

Frontal and frontal offset crashes combine for about 72% of all crashes. Side impacts are about 24%. Rear and rear offset crashes only account for about 4%. The odds of being in a serious frontal crash are many times greater than being in a rear-ender.

Their will alwyas be exception, I've seen accidents were full size 4wd trucks were 8" tall in the passenger compart.


But here are some pics I found online... Not mine... Cant post them...

And a good rear ender... Kid was in rear, scratchs only...

Anytime man, Like I said will it be the best spot EVERY-TIME? No, but statistical its your best chance.
