Note that the title is misleading.

The issue is lack of seatbelt pre-tensioning, not the size of car.

I am surprised manufacturers are not required to have pretensioners.

Also, your face is hitting something other than an airbag. The size of the car is probably somewhat to blame - larger cars have more space for your head to move before smashing into something.

Should we be putting airbags into the back of the front seats now? How much would that cost? You'd think that much of the electronics have already been taken care of due to the presence of the other airbags. Add some weight sensors in the seats, something to detect if the LATCH system is in use, etc. Would this be a few hundred dollars, or much much more?
