They should be 6 and older
Kids 12 and under should always be in the back seat. Most cars have front seat air bags, and these can hurt small children if the bags inflate during a crash or sudden stop. The safest place in the car for children is always in the back seat...Transport Canada
well I don't think that kids should even ride in the front seat at all
First of all, people riding in the front, as well as the back seat are required to wear seat belts. It's against the law in most states for a child to sit in the front seat of a car that has front air bags. Only children taller than 4'9' in height, and/or the age of twelve should ride in the front seat of a vehicle.
Your child should be 10 to sit in the front :-)
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.
All children 12 and under should remain in the back seat. Children 12 and under can be killed by the airbag in the front seats.
no, there are state laws against it.
I sat in the front seat when I was 5
It is not a matter of weight so much as age. Children should be 13 years or older to be in the front seat
If the car does not have air bags, then a child can sit in the front at any age, but must us a booster seat until they weigh at least 80lbs. If your car has passenger side air bags, then it not recommended for them to sit in the front seat until after they turn 13.
A good rule of thumb is to make sure you are tall enough that the front passenger air-bags will not block and suffocate your mouth and or nose, should they deploy.
