Airbags and Your Pet

Warnings about the hazards of car airbags for children are often in the news. But did you know that airbags can be equally hazardous to pets riding in the front seat? Normally children under 12 can not safely ride in the front seats of cars with airbags. Therefore, pets of equivalent or smaller size should also travel in your back seat. Cats should always travel in carriers for their own safety (and yours), as well as to prevent a quick escape from the car.
