It depends upon the model and year of the vehicle, but generally it would be the front passenger seat.
Putting a car seat in the front seat of your car is a terrible idea, regardless of the country. The height of the airbags can break a childs neck if just in a booster, and can jar a rear facing car seat, in the event of an accident. The front passenger seat is statistically the most dangerous seat in the car to in during an accident.
Yes, twisted seat belts can be dangerous as they may not properly restrain the occupant in a car accident, reducing the effectiveness of the seat belt in protecting the individual. It is important to ensure seat belts are properly adjusted and untwisted for maximum safety.

If the seat belt pre-tensioner was activated during the accident, the assembly will require replacement.
They merge your momentum with that of the entire vehicle.
probably as many as those who were not 'seat belted'.
No way. There has been documented proof that wearing a seat belt can prevent most injuries.
They will need replaced. The seat belt retractors have cinching devices that go off during a crash.
It stops you flying out of your seat through the windscreen and into the other vehicle or object. A few bruises on your chest is nothing to a face of glass and possible death.
According to the owner's manual, the passenger seat includes a detection system that takes into account how much weight is on the seat and if the seat belt is clicked. If the car determines there is no passenger in the seat, the air bag will not deploy during an accident (but there's no indicator light for that). If the car determines that there is a child in the seat the "airbag "off" indicator light should be illuminated and the air bag should not deploy during an accident. If the car determines the passenger is an adult, the air bag will deploy during an accident. I am trying to find out what are the specific conditions the car uses to distinguish between a child and an adult. No details on that in the manual. Hope that helps.
A seat belt protects the passengers when you have a car accident.
Seat belts are attached to the vehicle's frame rather than the seat to enhance safety and stability during a collision. The frame is designed to absorb impact forces and provide a secure anchor point, ensuring that the seat belt can effectively restrain the occupant. If seat belts were attached to the seat, they could move with the seat during an accident, potentially compromising their effectiveness and increasing the risk of injury.
