Holding a baby in the front passenger seat will not result in penalty points, but it will incur a fine. It is illegal to hold anyone in the front passenger seat. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, children under the age of 12 are not allowed to sit in the front seat of a motor vehicle, and preschool children in the rear seats must use dedicated child seats as required. The regulations for front passenger seat occupancy are: 1. Minors aged 12 and above should not sit in the front passenger seat but can sit in the rear seats. If necessary, a child seat should be used with the seatbelt fastened, and the child safety lock on the rear door should be engaged. 2. Pregnant women should not sit in the front passenger seat, as the design of the seatbelt does not account for pregnancy. In the event of an accident, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the front passenger.
