[Vision2020] Press Release 7 April 2005

[Jennifer McFarland]

Warren,

Thank you for your interest.  I am posting this to Vision 2020 as well
because I think the information is important for all Visionaries to know.
I've attached a PDF document detailing when it is safe to move kids from the
car seat to the rear passenger seat and from rear passenger seat to the
front seat (never place children in the trunk or on top of the vehicle).
The article is from an ISP Trooper who has a great deal of expertise on the
subject.  Enjoy!

--Jennie

Hello Jennie,

By the chuckle in your answer you took no offense. Thanks.

I do have another question I've been meaning to ask, and perhaps it could
turn into a PSA sort of thing. My son is nine and in the third grade. He's
about 4' 4'' or five, and weighs about 60+ lbs. He has always sat buckled
properly in the back seat of our vehicle.

Is there a safety suggestion or mandate concerning when he might use the
front seat (passenger thank you) given the air bag etc? It's hard to have
meaningful conversation for any extended period, and we like to see and
discuss the all of the surroundings as we go. Such conversation and
observation would be heightened were he in front.

Thanks,

Warren
