Can children sit in the front passenger seat of a car?
1 Answers
Children cannot sit in the front passenger seat of a car. The reasons are as follows: 1. In the event of an accident, the airbag will deploy at a speed of approximately 300 kilometers per hour, with an impact force of about 180 kilograms. Children's bones are not fully developed and cannot withstand such a strong force, making them prone to injury; 2. Children under the age of 12 are relatively small in size. Although the seat belt length can be adjusted, after fastening, the child's neck is easily strangled by the seat belt, posing a potential hazard; 3. Child seats are specifically designed for children, and they are usually placed in the rear seats. The front seats of a car do not have ISOFIX or LATCH interfaces, so child seats cannot be installed there; 4. If a child sits in the front passenger seat, they may reach out and touch the center console, which could affect the driver's safe operation of the vehicle.
