I found this out today and thought it might be of interest to you ... particularly if you drive a Vauxhall or a newer car ..
You cannot have a rear facing child seat in the front of a newer vauxhall ... Most Manufacturers allow the passenger airbag to be disengaged to enable you to put a rear facing car seat in the front of a car.
Vauxhall however have been very sneaky about this and the ONLY way to have your rear facing child seat in the front of your car is to buy a Vauxhall child seat with a sepcial transponder chip in it that will disengage the passenger airbag. How sneaky is that?
Might be worth checking your cars handbook before you go car seat hunting to see what is/what isnt possible to save you aggro in the future!!
