I realize this it is not ideal to put a baby seat of any kind in a sports car but what we know is the 370Z has a weight controlled auto off for the passenger air bag that shuts it off if the passenger is under 80 pounds. My question is that the main concern is if an airbag deploys it could be fatal but why is a front facing car seat OK per the manual and a rear facing seat is not?

The manual states the supplemental front airbag could be fatal.

Would this not be the case if the air bag went off if the car seat was facing forward or backwards.

My logic tells me in a rare emergency I would need to take my sisters infant with me as long as the airbag does not deploy (Which by design it should not) rear facing or front facing would be OK.

Why does the manual say front facing OK Rear Facing Is Not OK?

Is it because it wont strap in rear facing correctly?
