There is no Illinois Law at this time which specifically prohibits passengers from riding in the cargo bed of a pickup. However, the seat belt laws do restrict who can ride in the bed. The Child Passenger Safety act requires that children under the age of 16 be fastened in a seat belt or child safety seat, so no one under 16 can ride in the pickup bed. In addition, if the driver of the pickup is under 18, all passengers under age 19 must be in approved seat belts, so unless the truck has factory mounted seats in the bed, no persons under 19 can ride there.

You must keep in mind: Riding in the bed of a pickup truck is extremely dangerous. The cargo bed is meant for just that - Cargo, not living passengers.

Is it legal to ride in the back of a truck during a parade in GA?

First, it is NEVER a good idea to have a person ride in any vehicle without being restrained (wearing seat belts) It IS legal for a person to ride in the cargo area of a pick up truck IF they are sitting on the cargo bed, not the sides or wheel humps AND the cargo gate (tailgate) is closed AND: -The person is 18 years old or over -The person is any age but the truck cannot be on a major highway at speed. -The person is any age but the cargo area is covered by a fitted and secured truck cap. Basically some one under 18 cannot ride in the bed on the interstate or major highway unless the truck has a truck cap.
