Can an eleven year old legally ride in the front seat in California? |

[Edit]
In the State of California there are no laws for an eleven year old riding in the front seat.
Instead the state only offers a prevention tip:
A child should be at least 12yrs of age before they ride in the front seat of a car. Studies have shown that children younger than 12 are not able to handle the impact caused by a frontal crash. There is less impact to the child if they are in the back seat.
The only laws regarding child car safety are:
- an infant weighing 20lbs or less must be in a rear facing car seat
- an infant wieghing 20-40lbs must be in a forward facing car seat
- preschoolers must be in a booster seat until they are 6yrs old or 60lbs.
