At What Age Can One Sit in the Front Seat?

[VonKimberly]

Traffic regulations do not impose age restrictions on passengers in the front passenger seat of a car. However, most cities currently stipulate that children must be at least 12 years old or taller than 1.4 meters to sit in the front passenger seat. The regulations and requirements for front-seat passengers are as follows: Regulations for Front-Seat Passengers: Parents holding children are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat, nor should child safety seats be installed there. If a front-seat passenger fails to fasten their seatbelt while driving on highways or urban expressways, they may be fined via electronic monitoring or on-site enforcement and required to correct the violation. Children under 12 years old are prohibited from sitting in the front passenger seat. Requirements for Children in Vehicles: Children should not lean out of the window to view the scenery while the vehicle is moving. Do not allow children to stand on the center armrest while the car is in motion. Never leave a child unattended in the car. If necessary, use a child safety seat for children in the rear seats; if no safety seat is available, ensure they are properly secured with a seatbelt. Avoid feeding children while the vehicle is in motion.
