[Lynn]

Children must be at least 12 years old to sit in the front seat of a vehicle. The necessity of child safety seats and requirements for children riding in vehicles are introduced as follows: Necessity of Child Safety Seats: In real-life situations, due to children's smaller body proportions and bones, sitting in the front passenger seat is highly unsafe. In the event of an abnormal situation, they can easily be injured by the deploying airbag. Therefore, it is best for children to sit in the rear seats. Requirements for Children Riding in Vehicles: Parents should never hold a child while sitting in the front passenger seat. Children should not lean out of the window to look at the scenery while the vehicle is moving. Do not allow children to stand on the center console while the vehicle is in motion. Never leave a child alone in the vehicle.
