370z with child car seat

UNKNOWN_370

This is AMERICA, child seats in the front are ILLEGAL, period. Short trips, long trips, doesn't matter. Baby in the front, you get fined or go to jail depending on situation. We have the strictest automotive safety laws in the world.

That might work if what you say fits his situation??? Or he may have to settle for a GT. Sometimes you gotta sacrifice your dreams temporarily for your children.

I wasn't aware it was illegal in the whole of the US, I thought it depended on which state you live in. So thanks for enlightening me on that matter .

But, if such is the case why would he even consider buying such a car? You would expect potential buyers to do some kind of research other than on forums (such as car reviews, car mags, etc.). Also I don't know many sports cars that have 2+2 seats.

Edit:

OK after reading his post better, OP said, "just wanna know if theres a provation for the childs car seat at the back of the z...", ok he didn't do his research properly... suprising.

Show me. Seriously, show me. How about doing your research next time before you spew a bunch of misinformation. In a vehicle that does not contain a back seat it is NOT illegal to place a child seat in the front.

You beat me to it. I was gonna have to ask for a source on that one... He sounds like those people that brag about their location (wherever it may be) being the car-theft or meth capital of the world. Misinformation is the perfect word for it.

have you ever read the law guy? if no back seat is available, a passenger seat is fine as long as the air bag can be turned off, which is by default unless 80 lbs are sitting in it, which no child will reach until legal age to ride in a typical front seat, that is unless of course, you feed your children taco bell and ho ho's for dinner daily

That being said, my Z is my only means of transportation, and as a father, i have no qualms about having my son ride in it with me, however, i ensure his seat is anchored properly and that the seat is in the furthest back position so as to not cause injury should for whatever reason an airbag deploy. We're all entitled to our opinions, so i wont respond to some of the naysayers, but it think its no less safe than having a child in the back seat, if the wreck is bad enough, injuries will happen regardless.

There's some truth there. My 4 year old son loves riding in my Z. And personally I think the front seat of my Z with the airbag deactivated is far safer than the backseat of my work car.
