A four year old can NOT sit in the front of any vehicle not to mention a pickup truck.
If a four year old was in the front seat of a pickup and you crashed the air bag will deploy. Air bags can break the ribs of a fully developed adult, imagine what it can do to a four year old! Please, DO NOT LET YOUR FOUR YEAR OLD, OR ANY CHILD WHO HAS NOT FULLY DEVELOPED YET SIT IN THE FRONT OF ANY VEHICLE.

∙ 14y agoDepends really because in an accident the five year old could be crushed. i think its your opinion but i would advise him to sit at the back.
You will also need to check with your local police or traffic authorities to learn what legislation affects children travelling in motor vehicles. They will also be able to advise you on safety issues regarding children's seating while traveling.

∙ 10y agoYes as long as the airbag is turned off. It is perfectly safe. The only reason the back seat is recommended is to make it habit for people as most cars can not turn off the airbag. If you can turn it off there is no reason why it would be less safe in a single bench.

It doesn't tend to be illegal (of course that varies by state/country) but in the event of a collision, the child would be much safer in the back seat than in the front. Under no circumstances should a child in a rear facing booster seat be placed in the front seat as if the airbags deploy, the child will probably be killed.
