But the choice is not for everyone...drivers must now apply to
have an "on/off" switch installed and will only get permission if they meet
certain requirements.
drivers or passengers must be too short to position themselves
at least ten inches from where the airbag deploys...
families must have more kids than available back seat..or have no
back seats at all.
or they must prove their child has to sit in the front seat to be
monitored for medical reasons.

worried that it may send the wrong message.
