Car Seats Installed On Vehicle Front Seats.?

Question

The wife and I were discussing about car seats. Is against the law to place a car seat on the front seat of a car? Most people place newborns rearward at the front seats to assist the child quicker. A 2 year old kid on a car seat, can travel on the front, facing the front of the vehicle? I say you can do that and is not against the law. She says it is against the law. We can not prove either one. Does anybody knows for sure and/or has a link where to find the info? We looked everywhere with no good results !!!

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It is against the law in most places because most states require children to be in the backseat.  Also, if a state has a proper use clause (most do) then the seat must be in the backseat as stated in the manual.
