I need to know if there is a law that would not allow my 6 year to ride in a tractor trailer or semi?

Question

States involved are Illinois & Missouri.

Answer 1

The laws are the same as they are for a car, the child will need to be in a car seat and the only place that I know of that they would be able to sit is the front passenger seat with the seat pushed back as far as possible.

I know that a child of that age cannot ride in the sleeper of a semi truck nor can the car seat be put in the rear because it would not be mounted to the frame......

Answer 2

No problems with it. All of my nephews and nieces have gone on runs with me.

Answer 3

as long as they have a seat you are ok

Answer 4

Besides the car seat,  you will need the permission of the vehicle owner or responsible party in writing.    Most will also require a waiver of liability for the passenger in case of accident.

Answer 5

Forget about what the law says.  Is it safe?
