You must place a child in an integrated child seat if the child is 3 years of age or younger.
Integrated child booster seats are available on some cars and buses. These usually include five-point harness seat belts. Children who are required by your state's law to use a car seat or booster seat should use the integrated seats when available.

It is a common misconception that booster and child seats need to be professionally installed in a car in order for them to be safe to use. In actual fact, car manufacturers and the manufacturers of child seats try to make them as easy to install as is possible to reduce the hassle of have to move or replace the seat.
Children and infants 3 years of age and under must be properly secured using a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device. Such restraint devices must be a separate carrier.
According to the EOPSS web site in MA Children 12 and under should always ride in the back seat. Follow vehicle manufacturers' warnings about seating of children near airbags. The only time the front seat would be OK is if the child is over 12 or if there is not back seat in the car. So, reclaim the rights to own the radio!!
None. You must use only the seat that was designed for the car seat base. The seat and base have been crash tested together by the manufacturer. If you use a seat with a base that has not been approved or tested, your child could be at great risk of injury or death in the event of a crash. Always follow the seat's manufacturers' instructions and seek the help of a certified child passenger safety technician in your area by going to http://www.seatcheck.org or http://www.safekids.org/certification
Auto manufacturers are not required to repair automatic seatbelts that are malfunctioning. Auto manufacturers are only required to make sure there is not a defect in the automatic seat belt mechanism.
You should get these rules from your state transportation department as each state does not have the same requirements. Click on the below related link
Some safety concerns that have to be taken into account when buying a child seat include selecting the appropriate seat heat, ensuring that the child seat fits the vehicle, and also the type of material used to manufacturer the child seat.
Not necessarily. If I child is smaller than 1.30 metres it should be seated in a child seat. If not, than an own seat is not obligatory
That depends on how old of a child. If the child is in a car seat or booster seat, then no. Studies and actual accidents have shown that children and infants can be beheaded in the front seat if airbags deploy. The child needs to be buckled in the back seat, center if possible.
