Child restraint laws

For Florida specifically, it just says that a rear facing car seat should not be placed on a seat with an active airbag. To that, I ask this question, for cars with curtain side airbags...how safe is a child in the back seat? My guess is no safer than in the front seat...

Also pulled this up:

Child Car Seat Requirements

It's for Broward County specifically so I'm wondering if child safety laws differ from county to county...?
Side curtain airbags don't deploy with the same kind of force

Maybe not...but do you really want any kind of airbag hitting your kid? I guess if you really think about it...the only safe spot would be in the center of the back seat or something.

...side airbags dont "hit" they roll down. thats why theyre called curtain airbags. theyre there to catch you. they dont shoot out AT you

Ah...that would make sense. Never had a car with anything other than front airbags so I wouldn't know.
