Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

I was under the impression that they're only dangerous if you're not wearing a seatbelt or scoot the seat up really close to the wheel.

I'm sure airbags have cut mortality rates in the UK. My car has 6, IIRC - front, side, curtain.

Isn't it that you have to reverse the baby's seat when it's in the front seat?

The first few generations of airbags had some issues. I think Honda had a big issue with paneling that wouldn't break away properly, and cut the shit out of people.

And don't cars have to have toggles for passenger-side airbags?

Mine has. It's awkward to get at and means you have to have a red light lit on the dash when you're driving, which is distracting.
