Baby in the front seat

I’m going to be putting my son in the front seat (5 months old) when I get my license. I know so many moms would bitch about that, but it’s legal in my state if there are no backseats (my case), or all backseats are occupied, but you have to have the airbags deactivated (which is an option in my truck🤗) I’m honestly pretty scared of how many people are going to be rude to me (in person, friends, strangers, etc)

I can’t afford another car. If I could I wouldn’t be putting him in the front seat. The only reason it “isn’t safe” is because of the airbag (which is why it’s legal if you turn the airbags off) and obviously I will be keeping him rear facing as long as possible. Call me whatever you want
