Here's a statute I found:
20‑135.2B. Transporting children under 12 years of age in open bed or open cargo area of a vehicle prohibited; exceptions.
(a) The operator of a vehicle having an open bed or open cargo area shall insure that no child under 12 years of age is transported in the bed or cargo area of that vehicle. An open bed or open cargo area is a bed or cargo area without permanent overhead restraining construction.
(b) Subsection (a) of this section does not apply in any of the following circumstances:
(1) An adult is present in the bed or cargo area of the vehicle and is supervising the child.
(2) The child is secured or restrained by a seat belt manufactured in compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, installed to support a load strength of not less than 5,000 pounds for each belt, and of a type approved by the Commissioner.
(3) An emergency situation exists.
(4) The vehicle is being operated in a parade pursuant to a valid permit.
(5) The vehicle is being operated in an agricultural enterprise.
(6) The vehicle is being operated in a county that has no incorporated area with a population in excess of 3,500.
(c) Any person violating this section shall have committed an infraction and shall pay a penalty of twenty‑five dollars ($25.00). Conviction of an infraction under this section has no consequence other than payment of a penalty. A person found responsible for a violation of this section may not be assessed court costs.
(d) No drivers license points or insurance surcharge shall be assessed on account of violation of this section. (1993 (Reg. Sess., 1994), c. 672, s. 1; 1995, c. 163, s. 7; 1999‑183, s. 4.)

In Minnesota, children under 18 are not allowed to ride in the truck bed unless there is an emergency situation or when the vehicle is participating in a parade. It is always recommended to have children properly seated inside the vehicle with seat belts on for their safety.
In Missouri, it is legal for passengers to ride in the bed of a truck if the vehicle is traveling under 35 miles per hour and if the passengers are seated in a safe manner. However, anyone under the age of 16 is prohibited from riding in the bed of a truck on any road, regardless of the speed limit. Make sure to comply with these regulations to stay within the law.
