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 2

There are a lot of exceptions to when you can put a child in the front seat . Rather than confuse you here, take a look at Pgs 9 and 10 of the CA driver's handbook.

Minimum age is 12.

Under that, back seat. They say the driver's side back seat is the safest.
