There is no height limit. You just have to be over 12 years of age, this is because air bags can kill you if you are under this age The answer is that you must be 12 years or older to sit in the front or else, if there is an accident you'll could have death.

It depends on what state you drive in. In Texas, if the child is at least 36 inches tall and 5 years or older they may ride without a safety seat. However, because of the SRS or Secondary Restraint System (air bags) it is suggested they be at least 4 feet 9 inches tall.

As far as I know, you have to be 13 to sit in the front, but you may want to check on the internet again because it is different for each state. You have to weigh 80 lbs

What age or weight must a front seat passenger be in the UK?

In Michigan, a child 4 years of age may ride in the front seat of a vehicle if all other seats are taken by children under the age of 4. A rear-facing car seat can be placed in the front seat if the airbag is turned off.


When can you sit in the front seat in North Carolina?

If you consult the buckleupnc.org website, the recommendation is to keep your child in the back seat as long as possible. Children under 5 should always be in the backseat...but then it gets a little fuzzy. The recommendation is that children 1-12 should sit in rear seats whenever possible. My understanding is that once your child is age 12, they are usually tall enough to withstand the effect of an airbag deploying at 150-200 mph. FYI, over half the deaths caused by airbag deployment have been in children sitting in the front passenger seat.

What age do you have to be to seat in the front of a car in NJ?

It's not about how tall you are, this is from the NY State Ploice website. New York's Occupant Restraint laws require the following: Children up to the age of 4 must be properly restrained in a federally approved child safety seat that is attached to a vehicle by a seat belt or universal child restraint anchorage (LATCH) system. Children less than age 4 but weighing more than 40 pounds may be restrained in a booster seat with a lap/shoulder safety belt. Children ages 4, 5, 6 and 7 must be properly secured in an appropriate child restraint system, one for which the child meets the height and weight recommendations of the child restraint manufacturer.* An appropriate child restraint system is one that meets the child's size and weight recommended by the manufacturer. A vehicle's safety belt is NOT a child restraint system. Children riding in booster seats must be secured with a combination lap/shoulder seat belt, NEVER secure a child in a booster seat with only a lap belt. From the age of 8 until they reach their 16th birthday, children must be restrained in a seat belt when they ride in the back seat. Front seat passengers must be properly restrained at all times, regardless of age. Children 12 years and younger should ride in the back seat. By simply buckling up your child in the back seat reduces his/her risk of death by 33%. *It is recommended that booster seats be used until your child is 4 foot 9 inches tall or weighs 100 pounds.
