The Swedes, car seat safety obsessed nation, have been using the froint seat for the past 30+ years with fantastic results. The car seat injuries and fatalities are far lower than any other nation. Airbags are disabled with a key or a switch and so far there is not one single fatality due to malfunctioning car seats. Pure crash test data says rear seat is about 35% safer but there are other factors which make the front set a great place for a rear facing seat. Better communication between driver and child is one.

They should not be able to get their arms out of the straps. For a RF child, the straps need to be at or below shoulder level. For FF, they need to be at or above.

For most car seats, you child has outgrown it by height RF when there is less than inch of hardshell above their heads. Check your manual. Expired seats are deadly seats. Car seats expire after 6 years from date of manufacture
