The child, if she/he is under twelve years old (age may vary by state/region) and generally 4'9" in height (about 148 cm) then they should be in the back seat, regardless of airbags or not. The back seat is the safest place for a child since they are the most protected there.
No because children are not allowed in a car without a booster seat under 135cm tall, especially not in the front!
Should be 12 or older
There is no law stating that a child has to ride in the rear seat of a vehicle. For safety reasons, it is better for a child to ride in the rear seat due to the fact of many recorded deaths involving children and airbags.
As long as your not in a car seat. But kids under 12 should sit in the back seat, because passenger airbags could cause a fatality.
That depends on how old of a child. If the child is in a car seat or booster seat, then no. Studies and actual accidents have shown that children and infants can be beheaded in the front seat if airbags deploy. The child needs to be buckled in the back seat, center if possible.
Weight and not size determines when they are able to ride in the front. One of the problems with front seats for a child is the front airbags. The airbags have hurt children because they are smaller and lighter in weight than an adult.
Yes if the air bag has an on/off switch. But if this is a car with a back seat and not a vehicle with no back seat, place the child in the rear. This is the safest place for a child.
If your talking about the booster seat without a back then NO, It is not safe for the child to ride with only a lap belt.
the legal height and weight is 4'10 and 92 pounds
Not unless you have a way to turn off the passenger side front airbags. Some pickup trucks have this feature (you use the key to turn the airbags off). If you cannot turn off/disable the airbags in your car, then you cannot put a car seat in the front seat. It would be very dangerous for the child!
According to the EOPSS web site in MA Children 12 and under should always ride in the back seat. Follow vehicle manufacturers' warnings about seating of children near airbags. The only time the front seat would be OK is if the child is over 12 or if there is not back seat in the car. So, reclaim the rights to own the radio!!
you can't the child must be 12 years and older in order to be in the passenger seat.

Q3. Are children under age 12 required to ride in the back seat?No. However, it is safest for any adult or child passenger to ride buckled up in the back seat, if a back seat is available (ie, pick-up trucks).Per Nevada DMV Q&A
