We have a 2001 ford ranger with Jumper seats (Side Facing lap belt only) in the back. Then up front we have 3 seats (Passenger, Middle and Driver). The Passenger air bag CAN be easily turned off with the key. Now my question is if anyone knows if we can use the jumper seats? Is there a certain child car seat we need to buy or an attachment? Otherwise I know we can put then in a normal car seat in the Passenger side with the air bag off… But I wanted to know all my options before the baby is born
. We still have time since I am due in June… I just want to make sure we are prepared for our babies arrival.
I always heard back seats are best…

You should never use the side jumper seats. It could cause serious spinal injury to an infant/young child. Use the front seat w/ the airbags off as you stated.
We have the same truck!
We do not use the jumper seats for the baby. He rides up front with airbag turned off. It did not even occur to me to ask if there was a way to use the jumper seats. It’s kinda why I don’t think we can have another baby until our son is old enough to ride in the back cause we can’t afford to buy a new vehicle.
Don’t ever use the jumper seat, it’s dangerous for their neck/spine if something were to happen. Babies go in the passenger seat, airbag off.
