Is it okay to put a child in a car seat at the front passenger seat if the air bag is off?

I have my little girl in a routine that seems to suit us all perfectly, but i feel resticted going out if I drive and she has to stay awake.... I can't control it if shes in the back...but may be able to if shes in the front...

is this a no go?

I was a real 'bad' mum LOL. I used to give mine a packet of quavers or a lollipop in the hope of keeping them awake...........Just 2 mins nap in the car would put paid to an afternoon nap so I used to desperately try and keep them awake.

In Dubai it's illegal for children under 10 to be in the front seat. With my children, it's near impossible to keep them awake in the car if they want to fall asleep. Even if I'm sitting right next to them in the back seat. I think it would be pretty hard to concentrate properly on driving if I was focusing on trying to keep them awake, especially if they were next to me in the front.

But apparently, a car seat is not compulsary (so i've been told) .... surely thats more dangerous?
