Answer 1

yu have to be able to be seen from the out side of the car i think thats like 3 feet and a halh. and 80 pounds or so age around 8 or 10 probably 9

Answer 2

80lbs and 12 years old.

Answer 3

Children can legally sit in the front seat at any

age...

provided they are using the restraint that

is right for the child’s size and weight.

A child

is much safer in the back seat, so fill the back

seat positions first with the smaller children.

The back seat offers 35–40% more protection

for passengers.

Answer 4

I believe you have to be 12yrs old and I think 5' tall not sure of the wt. I think it's mainly b/c of the safety issue of the air bags in vehicles nowadays. the pressure can kill small children.

Check with your state to see what the law is. NOT sure if it's by state or a nationwide thing.. My boy is a long time away from sitting up front. he's 14mos. old...

Answer 5

I am pretty sure you have to be four foot nine and weigh at least 90 lbs.

Answer 6

u are suposed to be 4 foot nine. weigh at leat 85 lbs

Answer 7

WHEN YOU ARE MORE THAN 12 YEARS OLD MORE THAN 4’9” (57 INCHES) TALL MAY SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR WITH AN ADULT SEATBELT.

Answer 8

It depends. It's different in different places.

Answer 9

He should be thirteen or weight 100+ pounds.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Alright You have to be 4ft 9 in to sit in the front....Weight, im not so sure

Answer 12

There isn't an age.  I would advise you to make sure that when the person sits in the front seat, then the car indicates that the airbag reaction is on.

Answer 13

Answer 15

Answer 21

i think it varies in different states. but in CA

u godda be over 6, OR weight more then 60 pounds. if ur lil cousin doesn't reach any of these requirements just tell him "back seat buckle up bud" haha i learned that from Sesame Street xD

(if ur not from california. u could just engine search for ur states driver handbook.)

Answer 22

In the handbook it says children under 12 years old should sit in the back.

Answer 23

12 is the age. theres not a weight.

Answer 24

you need to be at least 13. the bigger kid should always be in front because they have a less chance of getting hurt than the other. or let him, and when yall get into  an accident he'll die and then you can go to his funeral and yell " I TOLD YOU SO!!!"

Answer 25

Probably 13.

Answer 26

you should be 12 years old and atleast 100 pounds does that help u?

Answer 27

I tell my children and my grandchildren to sit in the back if they are under 12 years old if the car (or vehicle has air bags).  We now own a pickup with no air bags and no back seat.  Most newer vehicles with a back seat and air bags recommend no one under 12.. sit in the front seat.

Answer 28

The usual age is twelve and over, but they should probably be about five feet and at least eighty pounds. the backseat is always safer though. hope i helped

Answer 29

You need to be 12 to sit in the front...I don't think the weight matters.

Answer 30

12 years old. I don't know of a weight limit though
