The people who should sit in the rear of the vehicle to protect themselves from airbag impact in case of a crash are children under the age of 13. This is because children under 13 are generally safer in the back seat where they are less exposed to the force of frontal airbags, which can cause serious injury or death to younger passengers if deployed too close to them. Rear- facing child seats, in particular, should never be placed in the front seat in front of an active airbag due to the risk of fatal injuries from airbag deployment. Additionally, the safest seat in the car during a crash is often considered the rear middle seat, as it is farthest from impact zones and airbags, providing added protection. Passengers in the rear seat are also less likely to suffer severe airbag-related injuries compared to those in the front seat. Proper seatbelt use and sitting upright with enough distance from airbags are crucial for safety. Adults can sit in the front, but children should be in the back seat properly restrained for maximum protection from airbag impact in crashes.
