Can You Hold a Child in the Front Passenger Seat?

[Nevaeh]

It is not allowed to hold a child in the front passenger seat. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, children under the age of 12 are not permitted to sit in the front seats of a motor vehicle. Preschool-aged children should be seated in the rear with a dedicated child seat as required. If a parent holds a child in the front passenger seat of a private car, they may face a fine, although no penalty points will be deducted. Below are the regulations regarding front passenger seat occupancy: 1. Minors: Even minors aged 12 and above should avoid sitting in the front passenger seat and should instead sit in the rear. If necessary, a child seat should be used along with a seat belt, and the child safety locks on the rear doors should be engaged. 2. Pregnant Women: Pregnant women should not sit in the front passenger seat, as the design of the seat belt does not account for pregnancy. In the event of an accident, it may be difficult to ensure the safety of the passenger in the front seat.
