I have looked online and can’t find anything, so I thought I would ask here. My husband’s truck has two-seat upfront, the half door thing in the back, which means that the seats in the back are half the size. I put the car seat in, and it hangs off. My son Has not ridden in the truck yet because I don’t know if it is safe. Should I put him upfront if he has to be in the truck, or is it OK for him to be in the back seat? I still have him rear-facing, and the seat hangs out, maybe 3-4inches. But is locked in. I haven’t been able to find anything online stating anything. So until I know where to put it, I have just made sure he hasn’t had to be in the truck yet. But need help.

Call your local fire department!!! They can be sooooo helpful!
Call your local fire station. They have car seat safety technicians that can help you!
Take the truck up to your local fire department and I am sure they will look at it and let you know if it is safe or not. I know our local fire departments provide that service

Call local police or fire dept.
Like what everyone else has said… go to your local fire department with the truck and the car seat. A firefighter will come out and do a car seat check + will tell you if it is safe or not! 
Every car seat has a certain amount of over hang that they allow. I believe graco is 20%??? But if it’s the sideways seats mounted to the door then they aren’t safe at all. It’s unsafe to put kids in the front seat under 12 UNLESS there is no back seat, airbags can be turned off, and seat pushed back as far as possible. I wouldn’t use the truck unless it’s an absolute emergency. There’s a great group I’m apart of that can help a ton CarSeat Safety
Also wanted to add not ever fire station or police station has a CPST. You need to get in contact with a local CPST.

I used to ride in those tiny seats in my grandpa’s truck. That was 28 years ago. When I was a infant I would be in the car seat up front. I asked them when I was about 8 how in the heck did a car seat fit in the tiny back seat. I don’t think it’s possible for a carseat to fit back there. Nor would the neck position be safe if a car wreck occurred from the side.
My husband has a 3 door truck with a smaller bench seat in the back. We left the hospital in that truck and it was fine with the nurses (who wouldn’t let me even have a cover on the car seat leaving the hospital)
If he’s still in a rear facing seat,then no.I wouldn’t put him in the front seat until he’s in a booster seat.Which is about age 4 at least.He could be seriously injured.Keep kids in the back seat.If the seat is really to small I’d look into other vehicles.
usually local health departments can point you in the right direction as to who to talk to about car seat safety in you’re area.

Go to this website and find a CPST near you. Most fire departments do not have certified CPSTs. You can also ask in the group Car Seats for the Littles (certified CPSTs) and they can give you an answer based on the model of your vehicle and car seat whether or not a seat can be installed there.

You should call the police or fire department and ask them.
I recommend anyone who has carseat safety questions to join this group. This group is very helpful.

My daughters car seat did the same thing in the truck I had and fire dept said it was just fine as long as the seat is properly secured.
If the vehicle had a back seat that’s the safest place.

I drive a truck and as long as you have the airbag off in the passenger front seat it’s legal. I dont like how some trucks in the back seat the carseat hangs so I go with upfront etheir it cant have a passenger airbag or you have to be able to turn it off as long as it’s off hes fine
If it’s not a full back seat then no baby cannot ride back there. I know in my state its illegal to put a child in those half seats until they can ride with just a seat belt. No car seats or even boosters. As far as in the front seat it is leagl but not advisable. If you have no other options and baby has to ride in the front then make sure the air bag is off and seat is slid back as far as it will go.
Is as simple as contacting your local Firefighters… if you’re that worried.

If it’s a bench most times yes but suicide seats a no. I had no other choice than to put my little one up front when I drove a truck.
I have a half cab in the back. Our convertible fit fine on the half seat but the newborn carrier did not have enough of the base on the back seat. It will all depend on what seat you use.
Your local fire department should be able to answer your question and hopefully show you how to properly install the carseat.
I always call those suicide seats… so if the airbag can be turned off, I would personally go for the front seat.

Call the truck company
Check your manual for the car seat to see how much is acceptable for overhang- Graco is 20%. Also check the truck manual for car seat installation help. I’ve utilized an extended cab truck for many years rear and forward facing both my boys safely per both vehicle and car seat manuals
If anyone in Australia needs car seat advice
Hanging over is okay. Also front would be okay if you turn off the airbag(if there is one).
Put the car seat in the back behind one of the front seats and it will be fine.
Back seat is safer. Worst case scenario. Airbags go off. If the carseat is in front when they go off it could b very bad.
Firefighters and police officers are not certified in Carseat Safety. You can look online for a CPST local to you. They don’t charge, but tipping is encouraged. There’s also a group on fb called Carseat Safety and they can help you with finding someone local to you or answer you questions as the admins are certified techs.
Rear facing in the front is okay if there is no seating in the back. Just if possible turn off air bags. You can always go to law enforcement and have them help you.

I would put it in the back before I put it in the front seat.
You can check with your local or state police too for info.
Non emergency number of course. 
You should check the truck’s manual. It will tell you if/where the car seat should be installed.

Some seats allow a certain amount of hangover (not much though). You’d have to check the manual for your seat. Before you go to a fire or police station to check, do a quick search to find out if they have a cpst. Some do, some don’t. But of they aren’t, they can give misinformation. Unfortunately, it’s a misconception that the fire/police stations, Dr’s, etc. are always up to date on car seat safety. I’d recommend joining a carseat safety group as well. They are usually good about answering questions, and you can pm a CPST directly through them if you’d prefer 
CarSeat Safety Page or Car Seats for the Littles are couple that I know of
And you should find a CPS(certified passenger safety) tech. Not your local fire station or police department. They most likely are not trained in car seat safety.

Front seat is fine if the air bags are off. Even for rear facing I’ve taken my kid in multiple work viechles with only front seats so I could make it in time to daycare to oick up before switching to my own viecle.
Most fire departments, hospitals, police stations, and ambulance depts have people who are certified to check the safety of the carseat. Most will check them free of charge.
You can take the carseat and truck to the local station and they will tell you.
I would call your local police department or child services and ask.

If you can turn the airbag off then he can ride in the front passenger seat. If not then he cannot ride in the truck.
Go to police station they will help you
The car seat should fit on the seat all the way and be level without hanging off. And no. You should not put a child under 13 in the front seat. Especially a child in a car seat.
Go to the local highway patrol or fire department. Not only will they confirm for you but they will check that it is installed properly.
I used to have a truck with half seats in the back, my daughter was strapped in and snug back there perfectly. The center console of the front seats provided extra support for the car seat and her little feet would be next to me while I drove.
