They told us the reason for him sitting in back is to protect the
sternum from the airbag should it happen to deploy... which would also
be a reason for not driving as well...  It's not a big hardship here as
I have no issues at all with driving him around for the duration.... and
he's at least acquiescing to the stricture...  ;)
