My umderstanding is that there is no law against children riding in the front seat of a car in NY. There are several requirments that children be "properly restrained" which varies by age and weight. However, there are no laws prohibiting a child of any age from riding in the front seat of a car.
The answer is in weight. You would have to call your department of motor vehicles to find out the correct weight.
It is up to the parent, but like in all or most cars, 12 is the suggested age.

cheat, we do.
They have to be 12+ years old
the child should be at least 9 to ride in the front seat
A 9 year old child can ride in the front seat of a car. It is important that they are buckled in and can sit still.
