Carseats and Roccos

[treed2 at wsu.edu (T. Reed)]

I don't have a kid, but my personal choice would be to put the seat in the
front. I would expect it to be safer up there; the doors have big steel
beams/tubes in them, rather than the flimsy sheet metal protecting the
sides of the car back by the rear seat.

I've seen one rabbit rolling at 5 mph poke through the skin of another in
that rear seat area like it was wet kleenex.

Also the roof is higher in the front and I think it has more reinforcement
(especially on sunroof cars?)
