I don't know about Texas, but a child has to be 100 pounds to be in the front seat in NY. There is no sense in putting them there unless you are sure. They need to be protected.
12years old
70 lbs
12 or 13
As far as I know, any child under the age of 12 should not ride in the front seat. Especially if you have a passenger air bag.
1st, it wouldn't be that wise to put a child in the front seat, but I would say at 13 it gets legal.
No special law exists to children riding in the front seat. Texas requires all children under 8 years of age or under 4'9" to ride in child safety seats. Texas law requires front seat occupants drivers and passengers to be in seat belts.
you have to be 12 and have to be over 48 inches and have to be able to see over the dashboard
Although there is no law that prevents youngsters from sitting in the front seat of a vehicle in TX at this time, the safest place for a child in a car is in a rear seat, properly buckled into a child safety seat or a booster seat. Air bag safety issues suggest children 12 and under ought not to be placed in front of an air bag though.
In Texas, a child can legally sit without a car seat once they reach 8 years old or at least 4 feet 9 inches tall. It is recommended to follow safety guidelines and use a booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without it.
There are no laws concerning children and front seats. There is a law about children and the use of child safety seats.
the child should be at least 9 to ride in the front seat
you arew not supposed to turn off the airbags in any vehicle so children can sit in the front seat , children are supposed to be safely seated with seat belts on in the rear seats
