What is the minimum age for sitting in the front seat of a car?
1 Answers
Car front seats are suitable for passengers aged 14 and above. Below is relevant information about children sitting in the front passenger seat: 1. New traffic regulations: The updated regulations don't explicitly prohibit children under 14 from sitting in front, but considering children's physical characteristics and safety requirements, it's strongly recommended that children under 12 avoid the front seat. 2. Impact force on children: Children cannot withstand the tremendous impact force generated by airbag deployment. The instantaneous impact force during airbag activation can reach up to 1 kN, which may cause severe injuries to children. According to 1999 US statistics, the majority of 150 airbag-related fatalities were children.
