car/carseat question

This may be a really dumb question but can you put a rear facing infant carseat in a pick up truck? The only reason I feel like its an issue is because there's no back seat...any ideas???

You can put a rear facing car seat in the front seat ONLY if there are NO AIRBAGS in the front seat.

BUT I wouldn't do it.

Re: car/carseat question

what kind of pick up truck? My Dh has a chevy s-10 with the extended cab..so there is a backseat but its not exactly huge back there.. we have the carseat in there, but 99% we use my truck anyway to save the miles and gas on his car since i am home most of the time.

Yes, it's totally fine, as long as there is either no airbag, or you can turn it off (I can turn mine off in my Dakota). Trucks are designed this way so you don't have to force people to buy a new vehicle just because you have an infant.
