Over here in Germany... any child under the age of 12 years old or 36 Kilograms must ride in the back seat. Here is a Google translated German site on the law and the different versions of child seats.

Also interesting is on ECE (German spec) BMW's you can turn off the air bag for the front passenger seat.

And yes... IF safety is your concern... a closed car offers better protection than an open(cabrio) car does. Even when its top is up. A closed car is just plain safer.
