Is it safe for children? Options

[blonde914]

Big discussion this morning over talk radio and putting your kids in the front seat of the car. Even with car seats and seat belts it is the air bag that is the big issue right, besides the weight and height restrictions for seatbelts? Do you take your children in your 914's, and do you think it is safe. Everyone gave me a hard time because I take my youngest in the 914 with me. We use her booster seat and the new seat belts. In our other cars she is always in the back seat because of air bags ect... I don't drive the same when she or any one else is in the 914 with me, I am slow and law abiding. Do you take your kids out in the cars and do you think they are safe. Are there any statistics for these cars and saftey? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

I agree with Fiid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

I think that all small(er) cars today are more risky... not because they aren't safe in and of them selves... it's what you will likely hit... if you hit a large SUV in any car, say a VOLVO even... you could be seriously hurt... because they are so much higher and larger than the car you are in... so certainly, if a car built around todays safety standards has problems, then yes, the 914 is a more risky car for the youngster, and you...

that said, I don't plan on denying my kid(when/if I have 1) the fun/excitement of riding in the fun little car... I plan to be careful and responsible, above all else! but the rest is also in the hands of god... you only have so much control over your life... the rest is a crapshoot... have fun while you are here!!!
