Hey anyone here in the know regarding child seats in 2 seater cars? My 350Z has a child seat anchor point for the passenger seat. Rearward facing seats for say newborns is a big no no due to the airbag but forward facing?

all good, sorry for wasting ya time but I found what I'm looking for:

If the car has one row of seats only (for example, a ute):
•a child of any age can sit in the front seat if the vehicle has only one row of seats provided they are properly restrained.

This is what it says regarding rearward facing seats. Funny how it says "should not" and not a definite "NO!".

If the vehicle has a passenger airbag fitted, a rearward facing child restraint should not be used.

WTF do you think should means ?

It's an auxiliary verb used to indicate duty.

Can not, implies an inability. ie. incorrect because you can.
Will not, implies a willingness obviously by your desire incorrect.

Thus "should not" is correct as is "must not".

I don't care if people get grammar wrong cos I am fucking useless at grammar, but don't go round correcting people. Yes that is hypocritical of me, but it fucking annoys me when people correct me with incorrect grammar. (ie. I didn't start the fire!)

Yeah, forward facing a baby is just retarded. Then again, seen many 17 year old mums with them facing forward. Was just like "you don't deserve a child, let alone the will to live".

huh?? my boy is just over 2 years old.

and yes Obes, what scooter said you little ball of fail

Pfft when I was a baby my parents used to strap me to the roof racks.

There are many many occasions where I would ride for ages, standing on the Land Cruiser side steps and holding onto the roof racks. Could barely reach the roof racks and was up on my tip-toes. Drove past the cops on Fraser island doing this once and they didn't even bat an eyelid.
You would get fined these days and probably given an RBT.
