  Safe seat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A safe seat is a seat in a legislative body (e.g., Congress, Parliament, City Council) which is regarded as fully secured by a certain political party with very little chance of an election upset because of the nature of the electorate in the constituency concerned.
Examples of safe seats are in the Labour Party heartlands of urban northeast England and those of the Conservative Party in the shires.
A safe seat for the Democrats is New York's 11th congressional district in eastern Brooklyn, which has been Democratic since at least 1945 and where the incumbent, Major R. Owens has won reelection with over 85% of the vote in every election since 1998.

The Airbag Safe Infant Seat (ASIS) has a shield attached to the front of the seat that absorbs the impact when an airbag is deployed.

"The final results were that a child alone, with one adult in the car, in the back seat, 30 percent of accidents the parent felt were caused because of the distraction of the child," Goor said.

 Child Carseat Safety FAQ
The seat behind the passenger may be slightly safer than the seat behind the driver, since it allows you to unload the child on the curb side, allows you to see your child more easily from the driver's seat and is very slightly less likely to be hit on that side in a side impact.
For a rear-facing convertible seat, the child is too tall when the top of their head is at the level of the top of the shell.
A possible risk is to child passengers seated out of position; leaning on the door, face on the window, head sleeping on a pillar, etc. This would be most relevant to children in boosters who are not seated properly, and to children not using any type of seatbelt or restraint.

 Marginal seat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A marginal seat is a district or constituency held with a particularly small majority in a Parliamentary election conducted under a non-proportional electoral system.
These seats require a smaller swing to change hands and are therefore typically the focus of most of the parties' campaign resources.
Holders of safe seats tend to get far less discretionary resources--governmental as well as political-- from their political party than do holders of marginal seats.

 AlterNet: Election 2004: A Safe Seat for Twenty Grand
The Democratic incumbents paid $20,000 apiece to the political consultant drawing the district lines – who happened to be the brother of one incumbent – to draw each of them a "safe seat" where they would easily win re-election.
Then, to the dismay of national Democrats, the California Democrats controlling the line-drawing gave the GOP incumbents safe seats too, in return for their acceptance.
And there is a tradeoff between making more seats competitive and allowing "communities of interest" such as minorities to elect their chosen representative.

PRU Goward's campaign for Liberal preselection in a safe NSW state seat is in serious trouble, with the numbers stacked against her and preselectors prepared to publicly back her opponent, NSW Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Greg Smith.
Key supporters of Ms Goward, the federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner, were pessimistic yesterday about her chances of winning preselection for the seat of Epping in Sydney's northwest for next year's state election.
