Child in front?

Hi
I live in NY. I have a 6 year old and 7 year old. does anyone know what the law is regarding them being in the car since it has no rear? Since the airbag disables i was hoping that it is ok

Also, and you probably already know this, but make sure the seat is pushed back as far as possible from the airbag.

Go online and check the NY Drivers Manual (probably your DMV site) and it will tell you.

Here in California it is legal and gives specific details in the Drivers Manual. I carry a copy with me. Karl and Smartdavis are giving very good advice which I do as well.
