The way that the window switch is designed it can easily shut on a child's body or body part. There was something about this six months ago on tv. This was a rental vehicle for a trip for vacation. When the consumers son leaned his head out the window, his elbow hit the switch, and the window began to go up. The consumer suggested that a different type of switch be installed, the type that one would have to pull in order to close the window.
