I just checked out my car (11yrs old) and my DHs (14 yrs old) and neither of them can you opened the door once the car is in gear. Only when its put in park will the doors open. Child restraint is so they can not get out until car is opened from the outside. There is a button for putting down the window but none to unlock the door. All doors and windows can be controlled by the driver. We have GM products.

Yes, leave him in the back. Safer if in an accident and no likelihood of him grabbing the steering will,

Placing him in the back seat is NOT demeaning.
It is a safety measure.
He opens the car door. This is not only dangerous for him but for other cars on the road.
And will he stop at opening the door, when will he grab the steering wheel?
And as far as I know if the car is running and the car is in PARK the doors will not unlock UNLESS they are unlocked by pressing the LOCK button or toggle. If he is doing that then he should NOT be in the front.

When you ride in a cab...you are in the backseat.
Most of the time in a Ride Share you are in the backseat.
The safest place is the backseat.

You need to change your frame of mind on this. As the driver, responsible for the safety of the people in the car you set the rules.
