What are the penalties for children sitting in the front passenger seat?

[Henry]

Traffic regulations do not specify penalties for children sitting in the front passenger seat. However, some local regulations impose fines ranging from 5 to 30 yuan on passengers. In actual driving situations, traffic police indeed discourage children under 12 years old (or under 1.4 meters tall) from sitting in the front passenger seat. Additional information: When driving a motor vehicle on the road, minors under 12 years old should not be seated in the front passenger seat. Although minors aged 12 and above can sit in the front passenger seat, it is advisable to use a child safety seat for added safety. Additionally, pregnant women should avoid sitting in the front passenger seat due to their body shape, as seat belts are not designed with sufficient consideration for pregnant women. To minimize unnecessary injuries, it is recommended not to sit in the front passenger seat.
