Can Children Sit in the Front Passenger Seat?
1 Answers
For safety reasons, it is not recommended for young children to sit in the front passenger seat. Here are the relevant details: Regulations: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," and the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123 "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there are no explicit mandatory regulations prohibiting children from sitting in the front passenger seat or requiring the use of child safety seats. However, because sitting in the front passenger seat is relatively dangerous for children, for safety reasons, children under the age of 14 should sit in the rear seats, and younger children are best placed in child safety seats. Airbags: It is very unsafe for children to sit in the front passenger seat, as both the airbag and seatbelt pose significant risks. In the event of a sudden collision, the deployed airbag can exert considerable force on a child, which their body may not be able to withstand. Manufacturer's Instructions: Most car manufacturers now specify in their manuals that children under 12 years of age (or under 1.4 meters tall) should not sit in the front seat. If it is absolutely necessary to transport a child, a child car seat should be prepared to prevent potential harm to the child.
