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.

Can you put a car seat in the front seat if the car is only a 2 seater no back seat?

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!


Is a ten year old child weighing 70 ponds allow to seat in the front passengers seat in a Lexus with a seat belt on in Massachusetts?

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!!
