The child must be in child restraints if they are 5 years and younger or less than 60 pounds. They can ride in the front or back if they are 6 years or older or 60+ pounds as they do not need child restraints. First time offense is $100, by the way.

The concern is that a child cannot sustain the injuries to their internal organs (liver, kidneys, spleen, etc), which can be irreversibly injured in a head on or front impact crash. based on the current technologies, e.g. air bags and seat belts the child should weigh at least 110 to 115 lbs and be at least 5'0" tall in order to survive the impact of a crash

Recommended age is 12 or older... that's the recommended age from what i looked up and have seen

** That's what the DMV said **

child may not ride in the front seat of an airbag-equipped vehicle if the child:

  • Is under one year of age.
  • Weighs less than 20 pounds.
  • Is riding in a rear-facing child passenger restraint system.

Children ages six and older but less than 16 and children under age six who weigh more than 60 pounds, must be properly secured in an appropriate child passenger restraint system or safety belt which meets federal safety standards.

How much do you have to weigh to be able to sit in the front seat of a car in Oregon?

There is no minimum weight required by law for a child to sit in the front passenger seat in Oregon. It is strongly recommended that the child be at least 12 years old before riding in the front. The air bags can cause serious injury to a child smaller than this. Currently laws are only in effect for children that need to ride in safety seats.
