Need as soon as possible

There are several reasons children are safer in the back than the front seat. First of all, most air bags are made to protect adult passengers. Due to the difference in size between adults and children, the air bag would impact the child differently if deployed and could injure or kill them. Airbags deploy with a great deal of force and this force is dangerous to children.

The main reason that I am aware of though, is that most accidents are frontal accidents. In a frontal accident the rear seat takes the least amount of force from a frontal crash - in particular the middle rear seat. I know this because my Dad owned his own Insurance Investigation company and he taught me well. :)

Hope this helps!
