What is the legal age for a child to ride in the front seat in Arkansas?

In Arizona a child must be at least 5 years old to not require a child restraint, however, a child restraint need not be placed in the back seat. It is unsafe for a child of under 12 to ride in the front seat if there is an air bag.


What age do you have to be to seat in the front of a car in NJ?

It's not about how tall you are, this is from the NY State Ploice website. New York's Occupant Restraint laws require the following: Children up to the age of 4 must be properly restrained in a federally approved child safety seat that is attached to a vehicle by a seat belt or universal child restraint anchorage (LATCH) system. Children less than age 4 but weighing more than 40 pounds may be restrained in a booster seat with a lap/shoulder safety belt. Children ages 4, 5, 6 and 7 must be properly secured in an appropriate child restraint system, one for which the child meets the height and weight recommendations of the child restraint manufacturer.* An appropriate child restraint system is one that meets the child's size and weight recommended by the manufacturer. A vehicle's safety belt is NOT a child restraint system. Children riding in booster seats must be secured with a combination lap/shoulder seat belt, NEVER secure a child in a booster seat with only a lap belt. From the age of 8 until they reach their 16th birthday, children must be restrained in a seat belt when they ride in the back seat. Front seat passengers must be properly restrained at all times, regardless of age. Children 12 years and younger should ride in the back seat. By simply buckling up your child in the back seat reduces his/her risk of death by 33%. *It is recommended that booster seats be used until your child is 4 foot 9 inches tall or weighs 100 pounds.


How tall do you have to be to ride in the passenger seat in a car?

Myquestion is how tall do you have to be to not have to sit in a car seat.I thought thatyou had to be 4.9 to not have a car seat or way 80 poundsto not have a car seat. that was my thought.izlfzflhlOkay, here's what the American Academy of Pediatrics says: http://www.aap.org/family/carseatguide.htmThe type of seat your child needs depends on several things including your child's size and the type of vehicle you have. To be sure your child is using the most appropriate seat, read on. Type of Seat General GuidelineAll infants should always ride rear-facing until they are at least 1 year of age and weigh at least 20 pounds.Children 1 year of age and at least 20 pounds can ride forward-facing.School-aged children should stay in a booster seat until adult belts fit correctly (usually when a child reaches about 4' 9" in height and is between 8 and 12 years of age).Older children who have outgrown their booster seats should ride in a lap and shoulder belt in the back seat until 13 years of ageAnd here's what the California DMV says:http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/seatbelts.htm#safetybeltsCHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND SAFETY SEATSAny child under the age of six weighing less than 60 pounds must be secured in a federally approved child passenger restraint system and ride in the back seat of a vehicle.A child under the age of six weighing less than 60 pounds may ride in the front seat of a vehicle when:There is no rear seat or the rear seats are either side-facing jump seats or rear-facing seats.The child passenger restraint system cannot be installed properly in the rear seat.All rear seats are already occupied by children under the age of 12 years.A medical reason requires the child to ride in the front seat.A child may not ride in the front seat of an airbag-equipped vehicle if the child:Is under one year of age.Weighs less than 20 pounds.Is riding in a rear-facing child passenger restraint system.Children ages six and older, but less than 16, and children under age six who weigh more than 60 pounds, must be properly secured in an appropriate child passenger restraint system or safety belt which meets federal safety standards.Lastly, California Highway Patrol's website says:http://www.chp.ca.gov/community/child_safetyseat_faqs.htmlCalifornia's New Child Passenger Safety LawCalifornia Law will requires children to ride in the back seat in a properly secured child passenger safety restraint until they are at least 6 years old or weigh 60 pounds.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy was the law revised?Children are at greater risk when riding in the front seat. A child's injury risk is reduced by 33% when moved from the front seat to the back seat. Are there exemptions?Yes, there are a few. Your child may ride in the front seat if:Your vehicle has no rear seats.Rear seats are side-facing jump seats.Child safety restraints must never be placed on side-facing vehicle seats.The child restraint system cannot be properly installed in the rear seat.For example, your vehicle has lap belts only in the back seat, but there are lap and shoulder belts in the front seat. Your child is 5 and weighs 45 pounds and must ride in a booster seat. The booster seat must be used with a lap and shoulder belt; therefore your child may ride in the front seat.Children under age 12 occupy all rear seats.Medical reason (written by the pediatrician) requires that child not be restrained in the back seat. All children are safer in the back seat, ask another adult to ride with the child in the back.
