The back seat is no longer the safest place

[The Fed]

Bet insurance companies will start sending surveys for how many times you have passengers in the back seats. And get ready for vehicle prices to go up from more safety equipment, like airbags installed in front seatbacks. I can see special provisions for baby and carseats, like they do with the front passenger seat.
