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

[George]

The 2021 traffic regulations do not specify any age restrictions for passengers in the front passenger seat of a car. However, most cities currently require children to be at least 12 years old or taller than 1.4 meters to sit in the front passenger seat. Here are the regulations for front seat passengers: 1. Holding a child is not allowed: Parents holding children are not permitted to sit in the front passenger seat, nor can child safety seats be installed there; 2. Seat belts must be fastened: If seat belts are not properly fastened while driving on highways or urban expressways, a fine of 20 yuan may be imposed if caught by electronic surveillance or on-site enforcement, and the violation must be corrected.
