The fact is, it is extremely dangerous for a small child and baby to sit in the front seat. The airbag alone if deployed will kill them.
Also, if not secure in a child/baby seat in case of accident or just stopping fast can do serious harm to a baby. A babies bones are not formed completely, nor do they have complete motor control so they can suffer internal decapation just from a small fender bender. Even just hold the baby can crush them in case of accident :/
Qatari authorities are taking the right step in education the public and are even offering free child car seats:
Just do a simply google search about the dangers of not using a baby seat. Not everyone is educated in this matter or has grown up in a culture where it is the norm to use these, but they are availible here in Doha so there is no excuse to not have one.
God helps those who help themselves, so why not protect your innocent and helpless child. Better safe than sorry.
