How Old Must a Child Be to Sit in the Front Passenger Seat?

[VonMalia]

Children must be at least 12 years old to sit in the front passenger seat. Although minors who have reached the age of 12 can sit in the front passenger seat, for safety reasons, it is best to use a child safety seat. There are no specific penalties for children sitting in the front passenger seat, but there are clear regulations for front-seat passengers: 1. Children under 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front seat of a motor vehicle; 2. Holding a child in the front passenger seat is prohibited. Pregnant women should also avoid sitting in the front passenger seat, as seatbelt designs do not fully accommodate their body shape, and to minimize unnecessary risks, they should not sit there. Additionally, children should not lean any part of their body out of the car window, and they should not be left alone in the vehicle.
