There’s a reason it’s recommended to put kids in the back seat: it simply doesn’t have the risks of the front. The other requirements for front safety and rollover have a knock-on effect of making the rest of the vehicle safer (can’t improve rollover without improving the strength and energy distribution of the lower half of the car, which means improving impact protection too) . Note that cars have side airbags in the rear, they don’t have forward ones because they simply aren’t necessary, since there’s no dash to impact in a frontal collision.

I’d much rather be in the back seat in any accident.
