sorry I just searched it and found this.
But I'd like to know your experiences as well :smile:

YES...I used to drive my infant/toddler around in the NSX, but shortly realized that it wasn't the smartest thing to do.
I know that many have done it without any problems- I just made a personal decision that the NSX was too dangerous of a car (too low, horrible impact zones, etc.). Everyone has a certain risk management level they're willing to accept.

I have two young boys who love the car but....won't be riding until they don't need a booster and are tall enough to be sufficiently restrained by the lap belt.That is my personal belief.BTW I have a pass front airbag which I have not placed a defeat switch for.
I disabled my passenger bag. My daughter is now 4 but has been riding in her recaro young sport car seat since the day she turned ~18 lbs @ ~1 year old, which is the minimum weight to be front facing in this particular carseat. It also fits ok in the seat between the bolsters, and actually fits between the door and center console, giving you enough room to reach the seat belt with your hand. Cheaper seats I've noticed will NOT let the door even close OR fit between the bolsters.
I'd say this is the the BEST car seat for children to ride in the nsx with. And I haven't even gotten into the details on exactly why (ex. aluminum subframe, head bolsters, side bolsters, hip bolsters, microfiber, excellent construction, adjustable headrest that goes up and down, 18-80 lb weight range, etc).

I think we live in a world of wussies.
The media has trained us well.
If its really a concern get a Hummer.

Well a child is a VERY precious thing. I wish I woulc protect my daughter in a steel fortress but I also understand that it's not realistic to do so. Some of us just slide our level of comfort around differently than others or in different amounts. For my daughter, I gave up my sportbike for the nsx even though I own more than 1 vehcle.
So I don't understand why you wrote out the nsx for the 911. Just the rear seat? It seems many of us chimed in with good things regarding the car seat and air bag. We just disable it.

I had a link in the other thread you recently posted in regarding a car seat. Years ago, I searched and searched and turns out this site has the same low price as other sites, BUT FREE shipping. No one else offered free shipping.

They have lots of other brands and styles too. Just remember that it's going to need to be a particular shape all the way around if you want it to fit in the nsx because of the deep bolsters and narrow butt space in the seats, the angle of the bottom of the seat and the amount of space with the door closed between the door and center console. I just know that the recaro young sport fits very well, very well built, and designed for a range of child weights that will last for years and years.

Don't worry about the passenger side airbag. The airbag WILL NOT reach the seat if it explodes (make sure the seat is all the way back). I've seen many blown airbags in cars including the NSX and the bag will not reach that far.
Better err on the safe side when it comes to your child though. It's already risky enough they're with us in a very low sportscar in the front seat. And everything moves forward in the case of a head on collision. I might be wrong but I believe some states might have laws about air bags and children. I know there are laws that prohibit childseats from being in the front seat unless you have no other seat for them (i.e. regular cab picks, 2 seats, etc)
