Its good to see that parents in Malaysia are more aware about the safety for their kids whilst driving. This was a step in a good direction, as opposed to holding on to your kids instead of a designated child seat, and one of my pet peeves is seeing a reckless parent holding their kid in the drivers' seat whilst the vehicle is in motion.
But one thing that caught my attention during the daily commute today, a concerned parent did had a rear facing child seat installed, but it was in the passenger seat of a car fitted with a passenger airbag!!!!
I think in most cars there are this sticker pasted, meaning DO NOT USE REAR FACING CAR SEAT IN A PASSENGER FITTED AIRBAG, unless there a special switch or sensor that can turn it off. So he's taking a risk of decapitating his child in the event of the airbag sets off. And you might never know when it may go off as the slightest knock to the car in front may have set it off.
Or else save up to buy this car, fitted with eight of these airbags ... hehe ...
