At What Age Can Children Sit in the Front Seat of a Car?

[LoganDella]

China has explicitly stipulated that minors under the age of 12 are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat. Although the front passenger seat offers a wide field of vision and relatively less vibration, it poses extremely high risks. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for children under 14 in China. Specific regulations: Even parents holding children are not permitted to sit in the front passenger seat, and child safety seats cannot be installed there. If passengers in the front seat fail to fasten their seat belts while driving on highways or urban expressways, they will be fined and required to correct the behavior upon being caught by electronic surveillance or on-site inspection. Correct practices for children in cars: For children, the rear seats of a car are safer than the front seats. The middle seat in the rear is the optimal position for installing a child safety seat. For older children (typically no younger than 7-8 years) who need to use a three-point seat belt, it is advisable to use a booster seat.
