Can You Hold a Child in the Front Passenger Seat?
1 Answers
Holding a child in the front passenger seat is not recommended. Although there is no explicit regulation in traffic laws, it is advised against for safety reasons. Below are the hazards associated with holding a child in the front passenger seat: Risk of Accidents: If the vehicle collides with another object, the airbag will deploy, which can instantly knock the child unconscious. Additionally, the child is highly likely to be thrown forward, as the force of the impact may make it impossible for the parent to hold onto the child. Distraction to the Driver: Not allowing a child to sit in the front passenger seat is also beneficial for the driver. If a parent holds a child in the front seat, the child's movements can distract the driver, potentially leading to a loss of focus and increasing the risk of an accident.
