Greetings, mtbsmiley! I would use a child seat, but my 27-year-old refuses to sit in it
Seriously, the car is a LOT of fun, and a great ice-breaker (if you like meeting strangers on the street, highway, parking lot, etc.)

There are a fair number in your area, and we have an area here for folks in your neck of the woods.

Have fun!

Child seat in 4two

Yes, I am a grandfather and have used child seats and booster seats in the pasanger seat.
First: the front air bag is active only at (i beleive 60 pounds). there is a indicator light in center above rear view mirror for airbag status.
Second: Move the pasanger seat all the way back and the air bag if it deploys does not reach that far back.
Third: REAR-FACING infant seats are NOT allowed.

Welcome...

1/2 the time we have a pasenger in the car they are in a Booster or car seat. Their is a LATCH hook behind the pasenger seat just for this.

Like mentioned above, Move the seat all the way back, it also helps keep small hands away from stuff.
