This does not sound at all safe.

I have 'child' car door locks on all my passenger doors yet this wouldn't stop an adult reaching over to grab at the wheel, grab me, fiddle with the radio volume.

If being a passenger is not safe, next is having another adult to sit along side in the back to supervise & manage.

If this is not safe either, then no transport in private cars. He must stay home with a sitter when you go out. For his own appointments that must be face-to-face, non-emergency medical transport will need to be looked into.

This gets very hard if you & your husband don't have sitters or transport options.

He has dementia and can't distinguish between safe and unsafe behavior so I dont think he thinks it's demeaning. Always put him in the back furthest away from the drivers side.

Yes! She needs to be able to see him in the back in her peripheral view. Thanks for suggesting that side of the back seat👍🏾
