Question

What is the legal age in Boise, Id for a child to ride in the front seat of a car?

Answer 1

In most states there isn't a legal age for riding up front - but that doesn't mean its ok. There's lots of things that are legal but not safe. This is one of those. No child should be sitting in the front until they are 12-13 years old. They are safest in the back.
