Car Seat and Rear Airbag

colly10 · 2021-04-30 12:06:54

Hi, I just borrowed a 4 door focus and noticed it has airbags in the back. I know I can’t have the rear facing car seat in the front with an active airbag but is this also the same case for back seats?

Rear airbags are a different shape and have a different purpose than the front seat airbag so they are fine for car seats is my understanding. I’m in the rearfacing ireland Facebook group and did a search to make sure than that’s what post responses to the same question said.
