Thanks for all your replies. A few comments though. It is definetely not illegal anywhere I know of. The safety websites all enforce that it is very dangerous for an infant child seat to be in the front seat of a car with air bags, but go on to say it is preferrable to put it in the back seat if possible.
It is likely that our situation will be that one person will drop off the child and the other will pick up, due to schedules that are staggered by a few hours.
My driving would be limited to about a 15 block trip through quiet residential streets.
I am not convinced that I would be putting my child in any kind of danger, or I would not even entertain this thought. I can't envision why a child would be in so much more danger strapped in a car seat in a front seat of a car, than in the backseat during a low speed crash. Although after reading how horrible everyone says I'm being, I am leaning towards adding a third car. :boh:
