A child can ride in the front seat at any age, however they must use a booster seat until they are 12 or 135cm tall (whichever comes first). You must NEVER use a rear facing booster seat in the front seat.

It is not so much a factor of the weight of the child. Diamaler Chrysler like any other car company, states that the children under 12 years old need to stay in the back seat with a seat belt and or proper child restraints. The airbag deployment on a child can cause death or injury. Children age thirteen and older should be safe to sit in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with airbags. If your child is over the age of thirteen and you are worried that they might not be the correct weight to keep them safe in case of a vehicle accident, or any other questions with your vehicle's safety equipment, call your local car dealership.

∙ 13y agoAs of 2006, it is now illegal for any child under the age of 12, or less than 135cm tall, to travel in a car without a booster seat. Since the new laws came into force, Police have been carrying out spot checks on children in cars and if they are not securely fitted following the legal guidelines, the driver can be given an on the spot fixed penalty fine of £30 with a maximum fine of £500.
Where do they carry out these checks? Outside schools. The morning and afternoon school runs are perhaps unsurprisingly the peak times for injury to children in cars. Often parents are parked illegally for a start so the element of rush and 'just get in, will you' creeps in.

∙ 8y agoYou can sit in the front seat at any age, but booster seats must be used if required. It's far safer to ride in the back seat and a rear facing booster seat should never be used in the front.

What is the legal age a child can be able to ride at the front seat of a car in NY?
Effective March 27, 2005: all back seat passengers who are age four or older but under age seven must be restrained in an appropriate child restraint system. A child older than four years of age and over four feet nine inches in height may be restrained by a safety belt. It is not illegal under NYS law for a child passenger to ride in the front seat of a vehicle that has a passenger air bag, but it is dangerous. Recent studies show that air bags can cause serious or fatal injuries to infants, children or small adults that sit in the passenger-side front seat. It is also normally safer for a child of any age to ride in the back seat of any vehicle. For the best child passenger protection in your vehicle: * Never put a child safety seat in the front seat of a vehicle and face it toward the rear of a vehicle if that vehicle has a passenger-side air bag. * Do not put small children in the front seat of vehicle that has an air bag. Put a child that does not use a safety seat and who is less than five ft. in height in the back seat. * If a child must ride in the front seat, make sure the car seat is installed as far back as possible. Fasten the child securely in the child safety seat or seat belt. An air bag that opens suddenly can cause a serious injury to your infant or young child. * Air bags, used with seat belts, provide the best protection for older children and adults during an accident. * Remember that the back seat is the safest location for children to ride.
