Wisconsin law states children 3 and under must sit in a rear seat, if available; however, the state recommends children under 13 also sit in a rear seat.
According to a joint study by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for children in the US. In Wisconsin, more than 2,000 children are killed or injured in traffic accidents each year.
Front seat passengers under the age of 13 are 40% more likely to be injured in an accident than those over 13. Front passenger-side airbags also increase the potential for injury to younger children. The study noted no additional risk for properly restrained 13- to 15-year-olds.
Wisconsin's child passenger safety laws are among the weakest in the nation, which has resulted in the state losing federal transportation incentive dollars. In an effort to improve their safety record, Wisconsin recently enacted a booster seat law with the following requirements:
Child Booster Seat Rules
Children must be in a car seat until they reach age 4 and in a booster seat until they reach age 8.
* Less than 1 year old, or less than 20 lbs. must be in a rear-facing child seat in the back seat (if so equipped). * Age 1 to age 4, or less than 40 lbs. must be in a forward-facing child seat in the back seat (if so equipped). * Age 4 to age 8, between 40-80 lbs., and no more than 4 ft. 9 ins. must be in a booster seat. Transportation rule 310 specifically exempts children who are incapable of being transported due to body size, medical condition or disabilities. These children may use regular seat belts.
The fine for failing to comply with this law is $75.00.
I've been trying to find out the same thing for myself.
I found this "Safety Tip" on Brown County's website, but it doesn't actually state whether this is a law or simply a recommendation:

With airbags having the expansive force behind them that they have, this seems a reasonable precaution. As I understand it, the force of an airbag is enough to kill a small child (or even some very small adults).
But what if the car (or truck) is older and doesn't have airbags? And what about those vehicles where the airbags can be turned off?
If I can find out more, I'll post here again.

Child must be in forward-facing child seat, located in back seat if back seat is present.
Child 4-8 between 40 and 80 pounds:
Child must be in a forward-facing booster seat. Seat is not required to be placed in
back seat.
children younger than 1 and all children who weigh less than 20 pounds are required to be in a rear-facing infant seat; children 1 through 3 years who weigh at least 20 pounds but less than 40 pounds are required to be in a forward-facing child safety seat; children 4 through 7 who both weigh at least 40 pounds but less than 80 pounds and who are less than 57 inches tall are required to be in a booster seat
The state of Wisconsin does not have a law that specifies when a child is allowed to ride in the front seat. The state does recommend that children ride in the back seat until they're 13.
You can be any age. If you are a baby or small child you should have your own safety seat which is approved for use with seatbelts.

Most states say 12 years old.

Ghost riding the whip is when the car is in neutral and the driver and the passenger gets out of the car and dances and jumps back in the car Yadadamean
The plot is essentially impossible and there is violence and alcohol use in some versions.
Child Restraint Systems. Drivers of a passenger car, class I or class II truck, classic motor vehicle, antique motor vehicle, or motor home who transport children, 4 years of age or older, but less than 8 must fasten the child securely in a safety seat system and an appropriate fitting child booster seat. Drivers are also responsible for ensuring that all occupants age 8 and older but under age 18 are wearing a safety belt when riding anywhere in the vehicle. This also applies to school vehicles. -Effective February 21, 2003. It doesn't state in the DMV. I would ask a local police officer or the DA's office. Good luck
In April 2008, Governor Deval Patrick (Massachusetts) signed Senate Bill 2018, dubbed the Booster Seat Bill, into law. This law went into effect on July 10, 2008. This enhancement of the Massachusetts Child Passenger Safety Law requires that all children riding in passenger motor vehicles must be in a federally approved child passenger restraint that is properly fastened and secured until they are 8 years old or over 57" tall.Added: This law is not uniform in all states, and in some it is the age, or weight, or height of the child that determines the answer. Check your own states DMV, or local law enforcement agency.
A bike won't go anywhere, at any speed unless it has a rider, and for a human powered vehicle the rider is crucial - so the question is quite pointless. Besides, you're not telling for what kind of riding.
not allowed

Being named as an excluded driver means that you are not covered as the driver, and are not allowed to drive that vehicle. It doesn't mean that you can't be a passenger in the vehicle. If you were a passenger and were injured your injuries should still be covered under the insurance (whether or not the driver was your employer). If you were working at the time you may be eligible for workers compensation, also, but at the least your injuries should be covered.
It depends on the laws and regulations of the specific location where you are operating the fifteen-passenger van. In many places, it is illegal to consume alcohol while operating or riding as a passenger in a moving vehicle. It is important to check the local laws and prioritize the safety of yourself and others.
If you were a brig, you would be riding on a sailing vessel.
There is no minimum age requirement to be a passenger on a motorcycle in PA. The only law is that a child must wear an approved helmet.
About 79.05% children like riding bicycles, wow!!!
